Wrong, DeadlyParkour. A Star of David is two equilateral triangles overlaying to form a 6 pointed star. A pentagram is 5 pointed. Try wikipedia before correcting someone. Thanks :)

@DracoEX That's called a Triquetra, a Celtic symbol. For that, you need to use the points of an equallateral triangle as it has three points for a trinity symbol. Making one is even simple than this. Simply make the horizontal and vertical lines the same, and make the base line and first two vertical lines the same length, such as 100mm. Make your circles centered at the center of lines, and stretch out to points, then use erase tool for half of the circle.

@DeadlyParkour OMG Man... apply some basic logic then. The Star of David is made up of two triangles and thus has SIX points. The PENTAGRAM being true to its name has FIVE points.

@DeadlyParkour google it.

[HrafnNordhri]

@DeadlyParkour incorrect. The Star of David has 6 points. The Pentagram being true to its name "penta" has 5 points.

what if you used half circles like in the trinity symbol? to connect the dots.
