Geometric Primitives
At a glance
- Equilateral Polygon: 3–64 sides, sized across flats or across corners
- Star: 3–64 points with adjustable inner ratio
- Archimedean Spiral: define by turns or by total length, CW or CCW
The Shapes category holds general-purpose primitives for everyday layout work.
Equilateral Polygon draws a regular N-gon (3–64 sides) sized Across Flats — flat-to-flat, like a hex for a wrench — or Across Corners, point-to-point. Default orientation puts a flat on top, with a rotation parameter to spin it.
Star draws an N-point star (3–64 points) where size is the outer point-to-point diameter and an inner ratio (0–1) sets the valley depth.
Archimedean Spiral generates a constant-pitch spiral defined either by turns (pitch + wrap count) or by length (pitch + total run, wraps derived), with a start radius, direction, and start angle. Handy for decorative work and flex features.
