To create polygons by 'cutter'

You may want to create an irregular polygon (box) as the one shown on the following screenshot as Final.

Follow these steps:

1.Create a box you want to transform into an irregular polygon, and then create a smaller box that will act as a 'cutter'.

2.Move the cutter above the bigger box so it overlaps. Important: the cutter outer edges need to be either perfectly aligned with the bigger box, or bleeding out.

3.Press ALT+C to perform the cut.

4.Move out the cutter - the bigger box is cut on top.

5.Move the cutter on the bottom edge of the bigger box and make it higher.

6.Press ALT+C to perform the cut.

7.Delete the cutter box. The bigger box is but on the bottom.
