Quick Question - Preset Polygons

Hello Everybody :attn:

Is there a quick and simple way to place a preset polygon on the centre of the work area with all faces turned on and without having to drag and drop..

Thanks, DaffyDuck

Turn off Interactive Creation at the bottom of the polygon window.

Basicly what I want to do is learn a few shortcuts to speed up the process of building a scene.

I want to be able to drop polygons of a given size onto the persp window and push them into position rather than going into the properties and changing the scale and co-ord's. etc.

I feel I am spending too much time trying to set-up the scene which is holding me back from learning more.

Thanks, DaffyDuck
