Polygon
Draw a regular closed polygon using a configurable anchor, side count, diameter, and rotation.
Purpose
Draw a regular closed polygon using a configurable anchor, side count, diameter, and rotation.
Where to find it
Start or edit a sketch, open Draw, and choose Polygon.
Selection
- Place the chosen Draw Anchor and drag or tap to establish size.
Steps
- Set Sides, Diameter, Rotation, and Draw Anchor.
- Place the polygon and tap Apply.
Options
Result
Apply creates associated straight segments forming a regular polygon.
Editing
Transform or dimension the resulting geometry; Explode if independent segment semantics are needed. Existing polygons created without a Diameter expression do not automatically link to a variable with a similar name.
Troubleshooting
The polygon orientation or size is unexpected.
Adjust Rotation and confirm whether Diameter refers to the displayed polygon bound before applying.
Changing a variable does not resize an older polygon or its extrusion.
Check whether that polygon was created with the variable in the Diameter field. A variable created separately does not bind existing geometry; recreate the polygon with the variable entered in Diameter, then use that profile for the feature.
