Which object type is a polygonal mesh that uses more than three-sided polygons?

• A. NURBS surfaces
• B. Patch Mesh
• C. Editable Poly
• D. Editable Mesh

Answer: (C)

In polygonal modeling, faces that have more than three sides are called n-gons, and the object designed to handle such faces is the Editable Poly. This type is built for flexible polygonal modeling, letting you work with polygons that can have any number of sides and providing sub-object editing for vertices, edges, faces (polygons), and components. NURBS surfaces are smooth, mathematically defined surfaces, not polygonal faces. Patch Mesh uses patch-based surfaces made of patches rather than arbitrary polygonal faces. Editable Mesh is an older polygonal type that typically uses triangles or quadrilaterals (3- or 4-sided faces), not general multi-sided polygons. So the best answer is Editable Poly.
