Equilateral polygons?

Anonymous

Does AC have a tool that is similar to Autocad's "polygon" tool that creates equilateral sided polygons with user input to the number of equal sides for the polygon, ie a pentagon or octagon?.

Current version: ARCHICAD 16.

Thanks!

You use the Magic Wand. If I remember correctly the steps

1. Open Magic wand Settings (see attached)
2. Select Linear Segments
3. Segments along circles
4. Input segment number
5. draw a Circle with the radius you nee
6. Magic wand a Polyline inside the circle

Prism or Polygon Prism objects will let you enter the number of sides, length, etc... trace them, stretch them...
These are in the version 16 library too.
