Procedure
To create a gengon:
1.
FromtheCreatemenu,chooseExtended
Primitives > Gengon.
2. Set the Sides spinner to specif y the number of
side wedges in the gengon.
3. Dragthemousetocreatetheradiusofthe
gengon.
4. Releasethemousebutton,thenmovethe
mouse vertically to define the he ight of t he
gengon. Click to set the height.
5. Move the mouse diagonally to specify the size
of the chamfer along the side angles (toward the
upper left to increase the size; toward the lower
right to decrease it).
