- EQUTR Menu: PRISM
- ==============================================================================
- Creates a triangular (equilateral) solid prism or a triangular (equilateral)
- (2D) polygon.
-
- 1. * (CHAR) plane of base triangle (x-xy,y-yz,z-zx) <x>
- 2. * (POINT) starting point
- 3. * (NUM) edge length
- for option `x':
- 4. * (NUM) height of prism
- for options `y' or `z':
- 4. * (NUM) length of prism
- for all options:
- 5. * (Y/N) positive prism? <y>
-
- Description:
- This command creates a triangular (equilateral) 2D polygon or a triangular
- (equilateral) solid prism based on the polygon.
- Specify one of the axialplanes (x xy plane, the default; y yz plane, z xz
- plane). Define a starting point and edge length (greater than 0). Specify the
- height (for `x' option) or the length (for `y' and `z' options). You may enter
- `0' for a 2D polygon. Enter `y' for a positive prism, or `n' for a negative
- prism. You are prompted to create more prisms until another command is
- selected.
- Example: \equtr x 0 0 0 4 3 y
- Result: A positive triangular prism is created with its starting
- point at 0 0 0. The edge length is 4 units and height 3 units.
