Creates a polygon with sides of equal length.
Dimension - Specifies the size of the dimension specified in the Type field described below.
Number of Sides - Specifies the polygon's number of sides.
Initial Angle - Specifies the absolute angle of the first line of the polygon.
Corner Radius - Specifies a radius for the polygon's corners.
Depth - Specifies a projection value in the {Z} of the current CPL. Verticals are created at each corner, forming a 'wire frame' volume.
Type - Selects how to use the Dimension parameter:
Side Length - Use the Dimension value as the length of each side.
Inscribed circle - Use the Dimension value as the diameter of the inner construction circle of the polygon.
Circumscribed - Use the Dimension value as the diameter of the outer construction circle of the polygon.
Depending on the parameters you selected, the polygon is either drawn instantly or you can dynamically position it using the mouse. A digitise then fixes the polygon's position.
