[Tutorial] Quick octahedron

[Jean Lemire]

Hi folks.

See attached SU file.

Of course the fastest way is to import the existing component but it may need rotations to reorient it.

That works nicely, but I was confused by the text. You refer to circles. All I see are squares.

Jean Lemire use a "Horizontal circle with four segments" ( look at the file )insteadd a simple square : with a 4 segments circle instead a simple square you are able to use the center of the cerle.

Ahh, of course.

Oh My God!!
Using a 4 sided circle instead of a square so as to be able to use the "point at center" function is absolutely brilliant!

Jean is a true master!

Hi folks.

In my tutorial, if you use the Polygon Tool instead of the Circle Tool, you will save the unsmoothing step.

So it becomes a very quick octahedron drawing.

Just ideas.
