Drawing polygons - Rhino Tutorial
From the course: Learning Rhino 6 for Mac
Drawing polygons
- Polygons, are often the building blocks of complex forms. If you remember from geometry, you know that a polygon is a planar shape with three or more straight sides. That means squares, rectangles, pentagons, hexagons, triangles, and so on, are all polygons. In this video, we'll practice drawing a few different polygons and to help us do that, I've got the exercise file, polygons.3dm open Here, I'm using this picture as a reference and we'll cover how to set up an image like this in a separate video, but, for now, maybe we can imagine that we're designing some sort of a tiling pattern and we want to test out different shapes that might fit together. So, let's start by just drawing some rectangles. Under the Curve/Rectangle menu, you get a few different variations on ways to draw rectangles, I'll just grab the most basic one, Corner to Corner. So here we set one corner, by clicking and then drag out to set the…
