Creation method

There are two options for creating a Polygon By Edge node.

  • The first way to create a Polygon By Edge node is using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need or words associated with this node.
    • polygon , 2pnt
  • The second way is to select a Polygon By Edge node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Primitive curves > Polygon By Edge

Steps

  • Create a Polygon By Edge node.
  • Connect the start point of the polygon edge to the first port.
  • The second port gets the endpoint of the polygon edge.
  • The third port gets the point on the polygon plane.
  • The fourth port gets the number of segments.

After creating the node, connect the start point of the polygon edge to the first port, the second port gets the endpoint of the polygon edge, the third port gets the point on the polygon plane, and the number of sides of the polygon to the fourth port. On the output ports, you will receive the resulting polygon by side endpoints, polygon plane, and a number of segments. The center of the polygon, and distances from the center to the polygon corner and side.
