Description

A Part Prism is a solid defined by a regular polygon cross section and a height.

Usage

1. Open the Part Workbench.
2. Press the Primitives button, or use the Part → Create primitives → Prism from the top menu.
3. Select in the dialog Prism and set the parameters.

The prism properties can later be edited. Either in the property editor or by double-clicking on the prism in the model tree.

Parameters

• Polygon - the number of sides of the polygon which describes the cross section of the Part Prism
• circumradius - the circumradius is the distance from the center of the polygon to a vertex.
• Height - the height of the Part Prism
