About units based on polygons

Thanks to interiorCAD it is easy to create units based on polygons. In special cases some things are worth your attention to avoid unexpected results.

When using a polygon as a base for non-rectangular units, the polygon can be viewed from one of the following directions, front, top and right. A view from the left should be avoided. Better flip the polygon first:

The polygon should be rotated so the front is laid in the direction of the x-axis. Dividers will always be created rectangular to the front:

The assignment of the polygon's parts to the unit's sides is important. Sometimes it needs some experimentation. In the following example, the first assignment leads to a correct unit. The second assignment would lead to unexpected results because the left door wouldn't have a top frame part:

The polygon always should have a minimum of four and a maximum of eight sides. If you need a unit with three sides only, it is helpful to add a wee small fourth side to get a proper unit like shown in the following example:

When dealing with polygons with more than four sides, alternating assignments are not allowed. In the following example, the first assignment will not create a correct unit, the second assignment will:

We hope these hints are useful for you and help you to get even more out of interiorCAD.
