This dialog lets you specify how Tessellate should
subdivide polygons.
Inter face
Edge—Inserts vertices in t he middle of each edge
and draws lines connecting those vertices. The
number of polygons created will equal the number
of sides of the original polygon.
Face—Adds a vertex to the center of each polygon
and draws connecting lines from that vertex to the
original vertices. The number of polygons c reated
w i ll equal the number of sides of the original
polygon.
Tension—Lets you increase or decrease the Edge
tension value. Available only when Type: Edge is
active.
A negative value pulls vertices inward from their
plane, resulting in a concave effect. A positive
value pulls vert ices outward from their plane,
resultinginaroundingeffect.
