Part

Description

A Part RegularPolygon is a parametric shape that can be created with the Part Primitives command. In the coordinate system defined by its ÚdajePlacement property, the polygon lies on the XY plane with its center at the origin and one of its vertices on the X axis.

Usage

See Part Primitives.

Example

A Part RegularPolygon object created with the scripting example below is shown here.

Properties

See also: Property editor.

A Part RegularPolygon object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data

Attachment

The object has the same attachment properties as a Part Part2DObject.

Regular Polygon

• ÚdajePolygon (IntegerConstraint): The number of sides of the polygon. The default is 6.
• ÚdajeCircumradius (Length): The radius of the circle that circumscribes the polygon, the distance from the center of the polygon to one of its vertices. The default is 2mm.

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation, Part scripting and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

A Part RegularPolygon can be created with the addObject() method of the document:

poly = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::RegularPolygon", "myPolygon")

• Where "myPolygon" is the name for the object.
• The function returns the newly created object.

Example:

import FreeCAD as App

doc = App.activeDocument()

poly = doc.addObject("Part::RegularPolygon", "myPolygon")
poly.Polygon = 5
poly.Circumradius = 8
poly.Placement = App.Placement(App.Vector(1, 2, 3), App.Rotation(60, 30, 15))

doc.recompute()
