Select fills by number of sides / nodes

As in the title, is it possible to select fills in floor plan view by number of polygon sides / vertices? I haven't found such attribute, and I have to say, it would be extremely handy. It's a basic geometrical property of a polygon.

That would help me will fill consolidation after exploding walls into fills.

Hi,

 

To my knowledge that isn’t possible.


However, you can use other criteria (fill pens, type, layer, id, etc) to help you select certain fills for consolidation.

Even AI in 29 can not select fills based on the number of nodes or edges.

I had limited success getting it to select rectangular fills, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.

I could select all fills but then I couldn't un-select rectangular fills.

That might be possible later as AI improves.
