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.

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
