: : Better way? Well it would be nice if people would share stuff like that so we don't go wasting our time... that's what massassi is about after all.
My curving pipe method is the same as Evan's.
My method of perfect polygons is as follows.
(makes an octagon, but can by used for any non-prime number of sides if you start with something besides a square)
Take the default sector.
Insert a new one right over top of it.
Select the new sector and rotate by 45 degrees
(angle calculation is the same as in your Perfect polygons, 360/number of sides)
Cleave off the corners of the rotated sector by the four sides of the non-rotated sector.
Delete the original, non-rotated sector.
This leaves you with an octagon.
