How to make a circle with less segments instead of complete circle

[kenan.h92]

Hey guys, i am a bit new to Fusion360 and came from tinkercad before, 

and i made this object in Tinkercad, but now now i wanted to use Fusion360 for my designs. my question is i want to extrude a circle but with less segments (less circular) in the attached photo you can understand more what i mean, and sorry for my broken english.

Thank you all in advance!

In Sketch you have the Polygon tool (Circumscribed or Inscribed) and you can set the number of edges/segments.

I'm a little confused about what your asking for-

did you model the object on the left in fusion, and convert it to the mesh on the right?

how does tinker cad play into your question? are any of those objects from tinker cad?

Have a look at THIS YOUTUBE video...!

I would have recorded a Screencast Video and shared that, But I am getting error while Uploading it. So I am sharing the Video..

sorry for the bad describtion but i guess the guy from the first comment got me right and now i know how to do a polygon with more segments thanks for your reply! 🙂

Thanks mate! That's exactly what I needed! 🙂

[laughingcreek]

it does beg the question, why approximate a circle with a polygon?

Its for a design i am making to 3D print  , i just asked stupidly thanks for the german langeauge that ruined my english over the time 😅

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

I suspect that you are going about it the wrong way.

You sketch as a circle, not a polygon (cylindrical feature) and then increase the resolution when exporting the stl.  I don’t understand why @KristianLaholm and @rushabhthakkar_910 would suggest a Polygon.  That makes no sense to me?

[rushabhthakkar_910]

The Reason behind giving Polygon as a Solution is that the Model on the Left is of Fusion, and on the Right has been Imported from Tinkercad. 

So it's in Mesh form. And OP is new to Fusion and want to Model it in Fusion. But is unable too. 

If you closely observe the Geometry, it's a 12 sided Polygon. And that's what OP was looking for. 

And as @kenan.h92 mentioned, due to Translation from German to English the Question got a bit Confused. Otherwise what I proposed is what OP is looking for.
