Thanks Howard, I have a "design tools" stack, which I can toggle as a palette,
focus on the top card of the stack I am building.. I'll add a card with this in
a button

Ha! You math genius are wonderful! But this is a one off design process, so I
will still with my "ruler" grc rect….
A triangle with width=height is NOT a regular polygon (it doesn't have equal
side length).
To have what you want create a grc of type "polygon" and then

This is similar to a problem I've had with hexagons.
Probably the best thing is NOT to use the Regular Polygon Tool but to
define your own triangles using a Polygon Graphic where you set the points.

The center (loc) of the rect is the center of the triangle. So to get a
triangle of width W, you need to set the height and width of the grc to
2*W/sqrt(3).

Regular Polygon Tool:
If you create a triangle grc and set its width and height to 243pt
the tool positions the top of the triangle to center of the top line of the
rect and leaves margins on the left and right sides. Thus, the triangle itself
doesn't take the width of 243pt. It like ist has ma
