            a polygon with n sides

            a quad is a 4-gon

            a tri is a 3-gon

            etc....

                          ..and you will want these to be randomly painted also?

                                  No Need! All yet exist!
                                  this will be easy made if the previous ngons colors request was done! πŸ˜‰

                                  You paint in red the 6 > and < 10 by the colour ngons
                                  then Select by material current by Kwalkerman so red
                                  then Random Painter by ChrisFullmer if your previous was done! πŸ˜‰

                                  So waiting the colour ngons with conditions
                                  Must be no so difficult πŸ€“

                                    The Select material current above by Kwalkerman (2 posts) is more complete than the regular Select Material from Su β˜€
                                    A material is always current
                                    you can select from nothing, make the inverse selection transparent, hide the inverse selection πŸ˜‰

                                        great idea - works well - but it won't colour faces inside groups - is that right?
