IJSSEL Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Is it possible to change the Angle of one or more sides of a 2D Rectangular Polygon. I'm trying to create a Mitre ( 45º). Steps : 1- Network creates a rectangle ( 20x600mm). 2-- Change it into a Polygon. 3-- Create a Mitre on the small side ( 20mm). Appreciate idea's. Regards Quote Link to comment

Marionette Maven Marissa Farrell Posted March 7, 2019 Marionette Maven Share Posted March 7, 2019 Thanks! I'll try to mock something up quickly with the default content nodes, but I think Marionette would benefit from a Trapezoid node - I'll work on creating that as well. Quote Link to comment
IJSSEL Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Marissa, thank you. I think a Trapezoid Node would do the trick. I was experimenting with the Boolean Node and also with the various Vertex Nodes. But no results. Best regards, Jan Willem Henssen Quote Link to comment
Marionette Maven Marissa Farrell Posted March 7, 2019 Marionette Maven Share Posted March 7, 2019 Here's the beginning of my trapezoid node - there is no error handling in this version, so you may end up with results you don't want if your dimensions aren't reasonable. My later improvements list: Allow orientation defined in the node Allow an origin point Allow user to flip which side is shorter Allow user to define an angle for the trapezoid Marionette_trapezoid_MFarrell.vwx 1 Quote Link to comment
IJSSEL Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Yes, this is great, thanks a lot. I'm looking forward to the improvements. The first two on your "list" are (in my case) the most important ones. I'm now playing with the rotation tool (after I Extrude the 2D Trapezoid) to get it the way I want.
