- 2PRHS Menu: (POLYG) PRISM
- ==============================================================================
- Creates a hollow rectangular prism or two (2D) rectangular nested polygons,
- given a base plane and two opposite corners.
-
- 1. * (CHAR) plane of base rectangle (x-xy,y-yz,z-zx)<x>
- 2. * (POINT) first point
- 3. * (POINT) opposite point
- 4. * (NUM) "wall" thickness (greater than 0)
- for option `x':
- 5. * (NUM) height of prism
- for options `y' or `z':
- 5. * (NUM) width of prism
- for all options:
- 6. * (Y/N) positive prism ? <y>
-
- Description:
- This command creates a set of two nested rectangular polygons or a hollow
- rectangular prism based on the polygons.
-
-
-
- Specify a base plane: x xy plane (the default), y yz plane or z xz plane
- and define the two extremes of the base rectangle. Specify the "wall"
- thickness and the height (or length) of the prism (you may enter 0 for a 2D
- polygon). Enter `y' for a positive prism (the default), or `n' for a negative
- one. You are prompted to create more prisms until you enter another command.

- Example: \2prhs x 0 0 0 4 4 0 0.2 3 y
-
- Result: A 4 by 4 by 3 rectangular pipe with a "wall" thickness of 0.2 units is
- created having its lower-left corner at the point 0 0 0.
