## About this Block

**What it does:** The **Regular Polygon** block creates a polygon from a Plane, the number of sides, and a Radius of the circle that circumscribes the resulting polygon.

**Common uses:**

* Polygons can be used as profiles and are utilized in several modeling blocks such as Sweep Profile and Revolve Profile.

**Tips:**

* We can generate the Mesh of the polygon by dragging the vertices property from the **Regular Polygon** block onto the Points input of **Create Single Face Mesh** block for Point list of size 3 and 4.
