Parameters

sides
Number of sides (3 or more). Accepts a number or math expression.
radius (mm)
Circumradius — distance from center to each vertex. Accepts a math expression.

How it works

Polygon produces a closed 2D path. Use it with a Z strategy (Spiral Up or Stack Layers) to create hexagonal, octagonal, or other prism-like vase shapes. All inputs accept expressions, so you can vary sides or radius with height (e.g. via normZ or Sin).
