Regular polygon frame finish.
Use the supplied regular polygon geometry and the specified uniform inset.
Read the right quantitative data
Selected coats and liquid coverage.
Check this ordering assumption
Subtracting a side-length allowance does not directly produce a uniform normal-width inset.
The face model assumes the explicitly regular, centred geometry.
