  3. Select Prism in the dialog and set the parameters.

The prism properties can later be edited, either in the Property editor or by double-clicking the prism in the Tree view.

Properties

  • DataPolygon: The number of edges for the polygon that forms the base and top plane of the prism.
  • DataCircumradius : The distance from the center of the polygon to the prism edges.
  • DataHeight: The height is the distance in the z-axis.
  • DataFirst Angle: Angle in first direction. introduced in version 0.19
  • DataSecond Angle: Angle in second direction. introduced in version 0.19
