Chapter 13: Modeling with Polygons and Patches



                     FIGURE 13.25
                   The top faces of this dodecahedron have been individually extruded and beveled.


































                     FIGURE 13.26
                   The Hinge Polygons From Edge dialog box lets you select a hinge.












                           By default, one of the polygon’s edges will be used as the hinge about which the section rotates, but in the
                           settings dialog box, you can click the Pick Hinge button and select an edge (which doesn’t need to be
                           attached to the polygon). Figure 13.27 shows a sphere primitive with four polygon faces that have been
                           hinged around an edge at the sphere’s center.
