Creating Predefined Polygon Shapes
The system has several predefined shapes that can be used for creating 2D polygon Surfaces and 3D prisms. The following 2D shapes are available:
Rectangle by 2 points
\2pbox
Rectangle by 2 Sizes
\pbox
Square by 2 points
\2pcub
Square by Size
\pcube
Hollow Rectangle by 2 points
\2prhs
Hollow Rectangle by Size
\prhs
Circl by Point or Radius
\pcyl
Half Circle by Diameter or Sample
\hfcyl
Quarter Circle by Radius or Sample
\qtcyl
Hollow Circle by Point and Thickness
\rpipe
Hollow Half Circle by Radius and Thicknes or by Sample
\hpipe
Regular Polygon by including Circle or by Sample
\npoly
Equilateral Triangle by Size or by Sample, in Horizontal direction
\equtr
Isosceles Right-Angular Triangle by Size or by Sample, in Horizontal direction
\isotr
The predefined polygon shapes are created in the current Work Plane (XY or XZ or YZ) , either in Orthogonal view or in 3D views (axo, pers, etc…)
The same commands are used for creating 2D Surface Polygons or 3D Prisms. To obtain the result you wish, chose one of the options from the list displayed on the screen.
