Drawing polygons - this doesn't seem right.

Drawing polygons - this doesn't seem right.

While playing around with polygons I was drawing/making a hexagon.

 

Given it is (basically) made up of 6 same sized triangles I was confused when I saw this when I was drawing it.

(p.s. I won't clutter up the picture with lines, and annotations.  I fear that will only complicate what I am seeing)

 

 

Now, granted I maybe didn't just have the mouse in the right position, but shouldn't it be possible to have the top line (and therefore bottom) on an actual grid line?

 

Ok, I did a a center (thingy) polygon.  But the radius is on the grid line (as I drew it) and so if that is an triangle going from the center of the polygon to the outside, all radii should be equal.

 

To me it doesn't look like they would be.

 

Sorry if I am being petty/picky.   Its been a while since I did much/any work on fusion and it just seems weird.

 

Thanks in advance.

Turn the grid off.  Forget it even exists, as it is an unnecessary rabbit hole.

Set the dimension on the fly.  Done.

 

Hexagon polygons are all equal articles.

Will only look wrong if you are not looking square to sketch.

 

Might help....

Yes, you are right.

 

Silly me getting stuck on trivial things.

 

BTW, work is happening on that other *whatsit* we were talking about on the phone.

But it is slow and painful.  😉
