I wish that Graphisoft consider add 2D Drafting tools for directly drawing of Polygons (or Ngons) such as Equilateral Triangle or Hexagon, Octagon, etc.
I think these 2D Drafting tool(s) will help Designers & Architects to easily improve Design possibilities for special projects and Design ideas!

This is not a direct way to draw the shape you want, but are you aware of the method of drawing a circle and the magic wanding that circle with lines to get the shape you want.
Adjust the magic wand settings to get the Ngon you want.

The prism object should allow you anything from 3 to 16 sides.
And you can turn the 3D off if need be.

We do have in the object library a 3D "Prism" which may help.
It is one of life's many great mysteries... Why after 40 years does Archicad still not have a 2D polygon tool?

This is the solution.

Thank you very much for your sharing the solution with us! But, I wonder why Graphisoft Doesn't put direct tool for creating these kind of 2D shapes in Document Tool Set.
These kind of 2D Drafting tools are quite useful for the Architects and Designers to allow them easily create these shapes as the basis of their Designs.

Thank you so much for your interesting suggestion but with the 3D Prism object as I tried and played with, we only can create Hexagonal 3D Prism! Although we can draw a 2D Hexagonal Drawings using the 3D Prism surrounding lines!
