PYTHA Workshop - Controlling Segments For My Holes

When drawing circular faces to turn into My Holes, it is best not to use a large number of segments. Large numbers of segments are not needed to define drilling and will inflate file size unnecessarily. It is best to use an even number of segments that is divisible by 4. This ensures drilling is created at the correct diameter and not distorted.  

The number of segments created can be specified as an optional value when entering your circle radius. Simply enter your required radius, followed by a comma and the desired number of segments. 

The example below will generate a circular face of radius 5, consisting of 12 segments.
