Regular Polygon

A flat polygon with equal sides and equal angles, placed on a plane. The result is a Profile you can extrude, revolve or sweep.

Inputs

Plane Plane or Solid

The plane the polygon lies on; its origin is the polygon center and its X axis points at the first corner. Unwired, the world XY plane.

Takes: any block that gives Plane (102 blocks)
Radius Number

Radius, from a wire; replaces the typed value.

Sides Number

How many sides, 3 to 64. For more, use a Circle.

Inscribed Yes/No

On: the corners lie on the radius circle. Off: the sides touch the circle at their midpoints, so the polygon is slightly larger.

Output

Profile

Used by: Join Profiles, Profile Cut, Loft, Profile Extrusion, Profile Revolution, Profile Sweep, Surface Area

Properties

Values the block gives besides its output. The editor lists them under Properties, and an input can read one by reference.

Solid Solid

The flat region as a zero-thickness Solid, the zero set of its distance field.

BoundingBox Bounding Box

The axis-aligned extent of the profile.

DistanceToExtrusion Number

Distance to the region extruded without end along the plane normal (an infinite prism).

DistanceToRegion Number

Distance to the flat region itself, with no extrusion.

Plane Plane

The plane the profile is drawn on, with its origin, normal and frame.

Polycurves List of Curve

The closed loops that bound the region.
