Overview

Creates an mesh on top and bottom polyhedron on an game object.

Where to find

it can be found under Mechanics > Collider Generators > Polyhedron Generator or by clicking on game object going to Add Component and adding a Convex Polyhedron Generator.

Feature Layout

Make Normals for Mesh	When checked the normals of created mesh are calculated (generated by unity if unchecked).
Inverse Normals Top Bottom Mesh	When checked inverse the calculated normals of bottom and top cap of polyhedron.
Inverse Normals Side Mesh	When checked inverse the calculated normals of side of polyhedron.
Edit Mode	When checked allows you to edit the polyhedron in the scene view.
Scene Top Color	The color of the top polyhedron drawn in scene.
Scene Mid Color	The color of the lines between top and bottom polyhedron drawn in scene.
Scene Bottom Color	The color of the bottom polyhedron drawn in scene.
Number of Points	The number of points of the top and bottom cap polyhedron.
Scaling Tool	The type of tool to use to move the polyhedron points Points: Can move the individual points of the bottom and top polyhedron. Lines: Can move the lines between the points of bottom and top polyhedron. Cap: Can move the entire top and bottom polyhedron.
Allow Skewing	When checked the lines are able to skew when moving.
Target Normal Offset	The amount of distance between top and bottom cap when using move buttons
Move Top To Bottom	Moves the top the Target Normal Offset above the bottom.
Move Bottom To Top	Moves the bottom the Target Normal Offset below the top.
Points Top	The points and lines of the top polyhedron.
Points Bottom	The points and lines of the bottom polyhedron.
Add Point	Add point to top and bottom polyhedron.
Normal Offset Alignment	The amount offset in units of the alignment.
Align Bottom To Top	Puts all the points of bottom on top.
Align Top To Bottom	Puts all the points of top on bottom.
Mesh Name Prefix	Prefix added to mesh name (if empty standard name used).
Reset Points	Resets polyhedron to start conditions.
(Re)Generated Mesh	Generates mesh created by top and bottom polyhedron.

How to use

Add Convex Polyhedron Generator to game object.
Use the gizmo’s in the scene view to set the polyhedron shape you want to generate.
Press Generate Collider. This will create a mesh filter and collider to object to put the polyhedron in. If already has a mesh filter an object will be made below it and their the polyhedron is stored.
