The n in ngon is technically a variable. n could equal 3 or 3 million. 3-gon, 4-gon, 5-gon, ngon. After about 5 sides you just…
Neox you caught that post in the middle of an edit, but I'm leaving that bit in there, heh.

It's not really an inability to count.…
Lol Mark, this is a pretty tangential rant. There's another equally plausible situation: "There is no need to count the number of sides", because the computer does that for me, and/or because it has no relevance in most situations. Modo doesn't crash if I create a 13 sided face instead of a pentagon. The reason n-gon for…
