Now I want to constrain the proportions of the shape so that I end up with a regular polygon in which all of the sides are the same length, and I want the shape to be nice and big as well. And I'm moving in on the fly, by the way, by pressing and holding the space bar, at which point I'll go ahead and release to bring up the properties panel. Now notice that you can change the number of sides on the fly by either dragging this little slider triangle, or you can go ahead and scrub on this icon right here. I'm going to go ahead and take the number of sides down to six, let's say, and notice that we have a round corner radius value, you can change…
