The height to extrude the polygon

NOTE: The ordering of points is VERY IMPORTANT. The points must be in counter-clockwise order, otherwise the faces of the object will be facing inwards.

Hint: You can reference values from arrays with =points[1].name

Define a polygon with as many points as you like and extrude the polygon to a specified height. With this shape you can make a wide variety of different shapes and it is very useful when you already have a set of points from measurements you made.

While it can be used to make more or less any flat 2D shape keep in mind that there might be shapes that are easier to configure if you need something simple.

For example:

  • Cube
  • Rectangular cuboid
Processing steps (work in progress)
This is a first version of an idea I had. You can add different modifiers to the generated shape. Currently there is only the drilling machine that can drill a hole in the center (origin) of the shape and rotate.
