The Star plug-in creates a star with different attributes.

Note: This plug-in is located in: Plugins -> Geom plug-ins -> Default

Star Properties

  • Corners/Tips: Sets the number of corners on the inner circle of the star (equals the number of tips on the outer circle of the Star). Default: 5, Min: 3, Max: 300.

  • Star Radius: Sets the radius of the outer circle (where the tips of the star are located). Default: 50, Min: 1, Max: 200.

  • Star Inner Radius Factor: Determines the factor of the outer radius to the inner radius of the star. A value of 1.0 means that the inner radius of the star is identical to the Star Radius value. Default: 2, Min: 0.25, Max: 50.

  • Hole: Places a hole in the Star geometry. Default: 0 (Off).

  • Hole Radius: Sets the radius of the outer circle where the tips of the hole are located. Default: 25, Min: 1, Max: 200.

  • Hole Inner Radius Factor: Determines the ratio of the outer radius to the inner radius of the hole. A value of 1.0 means that the inner radius of the hole is identical to the Hole Radius. Default: 2, Min: 1, Max: 50.
