Support for N-Sided Faces (N-Gons) in Freestyle

PTC has improved Freestyle to allow users to split quad faces into n-sided faces. Click the command Add Edge to increase the number of edges per face. Each edge breaks the 4–sided face into smaller faces, providing better control to define the form. You can delete selected edges, which results in the automatic collapse of the faces and the deleted edge vertices. This gives you the flexibility to split the control mesh into any defined shape so you can create any type of geometry.
