Usage

The RegularPolygon is available from the Create Primitives dialogue in the Part workbench.

1. Switch to the Part Workbench
2. The RegularPolygon command can be accessed several ways:
   • The Create Primitives dialogue via the Primitives icon located in the Part toolbar
   • Using the Part → Create primitives → Regular Polygon

Parameters

• Polygon - the number of sides of the polygon which describes the cross section of the Part Prism
• Circumradius - the circumradius is the distance from the centre of the polygon to a vertex.
