The Subdivide plug-in contains three tools
that subdivide polygons into new polygons in different ways:
Tessellate - This tool replaces an n-sided
polygon with n new triangular polygons. The new triangles,
collectively, cover the same area as the original polygon,
which is deleted. Each new triangle is formed using one of
the original polygon's edges and the two edges connecting
the center point of the original polygon and the two vertices
of the original edge.
Divide Quads - This tool replaces a
4-sided polygon (quadrilateral) with 4 new quadrilateral polygons.
The new quadrilaterals, collectively, cover the same area
as the original polygon, which is deleted. Each new quadrilateral
is formed by creating vertices at the midpoints of the original
polygon's edges and at the center of the original polygon.
The new vertices are connected to form the 4 new quadrilaterals.
Bevel - Extrudes an n-sided polygon
with n+1 new polygons. The original polygon may be optionally
deleted and you may specify offset values for both the width
and the height of the extrusion, thus achieving a bevel like
effect. There are different kinds of bevels available,
including linear, parabolic, elliptical and steps.
