Thank you all for your help and support, i am just surprised the a software that strong has no basic tool to draw a basic shape like a star. its almost there in any other software.

This can be achieve even with simple Extrude and Chamfer.

You can do it with an extrude tapered but it is a bit hit or miss. Files attached.

I am not interested in hit or miss solutions - only parametrically adjustable solutions.

Hi All, 

After working with Fusion 360 for a while, i would like to contribute to what i learned on how to draw a star and control it.

I am brand new to CAD.  This is almost exactly what I have been trying to create.  Thank you for sharing.  I have also been trying to create a start that is exactly this, only inverted.  As in it was carved into a material instead of protruding out of it.  I am hoping that it is a simple adjustment that I have not figured out yet.  Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
