Are there any other known limitations to creating a polygon shape apart from having holes and self-intersecting paths? Is there a limit on the number of points? Distance between points?
The reason I ask is because I’m unable to create a shape when using external software to generate points and then exporting the vertices as data. The shape has 186 points with some points very close to each other and also no holes or self-intersecting paths.
I should note that I’ve been able to successfully create a simpler shape using this same process.
