              a polygon with n sides

              a quad is a 4-gon

              a tri is a 3-gon

              etc....

                                    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?
