\npoly

Each prism may be created on any of the major planes (xy, xz, yz).

Specify the plane of the prism base and enter the position and dimensions as required by the specific prism.

Specify the height (or length if the shape is not on the xy plane). State whether the prism is to be positive or negative. A positive solid is treated as a solid body. A negative solid is intended as a hole or void within another positive solid body.
