The orange is just comments - they do nothing.
I didn't test it before posting - because now I can 'fix' it for a grand fee!
Gimme the error message and a wallop of money! -
error message below....
?There's none?
-
Ah - found a typo:
def self.self.colour_ngon- should bedef self.colour_ngon. I updated my post. -
That little fella was highlighted in Notepad++. So it finds the errors for you.
-
Updated first post with plugin.
Thanks Thom
-
Ah, neophyte question, what is the defintion of an Ngon?
-
a polygon with n sides
a quad is a 4-gon
a tri is a 3-gon
etc....
Hi John
-
What about a bi?
-
Gai...
Just let bi-gons by bygones.
-
-
I forgot Oregon
-
a bi-gone = a segment line !
A one gone = a point !
0 gone = void -
a cool thing will be something like that
colour ngons > 6 and < 10 (just example) -

No Need! All yet exist!
this will be easy made if the previous ngons colors request was done!
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!So waiting the colour ngons with conditions
Must be no so difficult
