Making Polygon using a given centroid?

Hello.

To me the Polygon component is pretty straightforward.

The P input is for the base plane, with the X vector giving the position of the first point.

The R input is for the distance between points and center, and the S input for the number of points.

Is this what you wanted to know ?

Thank you for making a quick reply:)

Actually I want to make a polygon using an existing centroid and also want to make the base edge or line parallel to CPlane?

I have also attached the .gh file in my previous post!

Ok I get it.

Just align your base plan to one of the side of your rectangle.

See below in green what I added to your file to make it work.

Good luck !

hi again, sorry for disturbing again n again.

just need to ask that how to project the elevation onto the CPlane (in 2d)??

The idea would be to cut each of your fins with a plane parallel to it to get the ouline, and then orient this outline on your projection plane.

A little bit like below.
