Good morning, been trying to figure out, how to remove the triangles from a platonic’s face. In other words, each face has a quad and a triangle, how do I combine the two, so it is one pentagon on each face ?, thank you

Hi Craig,

A quad plus a triangle and they create a “pentagon” shape, where both are sharing the same “plane”, can be easily turned into an N-Gon.

Mesh>Untriangulate [cogwheel]>Create N-Gons [checked]

All the best
