So if I turn off my mesh right here, I can see that we've got…quite a few points all connected to form this single polygon.…And all together it’s about 18 points.…So, I’m going to use a little trick to create a perfect circle in the center.…And the way I’m going to accomplish that is to add a disc primitive to my scene.…The disc primitive is perfectly circular, and…it also allows you to control the number of points you see.…So if I go to garage shading lines,…I can now see the number of segments I'm dealing with.…So I'm going to change my disc segments from four to one,…
