Close Polygon Hole Options
RELEASE 22
When a polygon hole is closed, new polygons are created. How this is done is defined here:
- N-Gon: The hole is closed with an n-gon, i.e., no new edges will be created
- Triangles: The polygons that are created will consist of triangles only
- Quadrangles: The polygons that are created will - as far as possible - consist of quadrangles only. They will not necessarily be level.
When a polygon hole is closed, the newly created polygons will be selected, e.g., so thy can be modified right away.
When a polygon hole is closed, the edges of the newly created polygon will be selected, e.g., so they can be modified right away.
The edges of the polygon hole will be generated with a Phong break outline, which will in most cases result in visible edges.
Tip:
If, for example, you use this tool to modify the outer edge of a circular plane, the plane itself will be seen as a hole and will be filled with an n-gon. This should normally be avoided unless you need a round n-gon (then you should delete the original polygons)
