Prism

3-D Standard > New > Solid primitive > Prism

You use this function to create a regular straight prism either as a solid body or a hollow body. Enter the part name. Activate or deactivate the Reference, Feature and BOM-relevant checkboxes.

Now enter the required data.

If you have selected the Preview mode, position the prism in the drawing. The fitting point is the centre of the circumcircle of the base surface.

In the Points direct mode, you define the height by specifying the start and end points of the axis, e.g. Absolute (0,0,0) and (0,0,500).

Hollow prism: (1) Height (2) Number of corners (3) Radius (4) Wall thickness (5) Fitting position

Notes:

• The corner radius is the radius of the circumcircle.

• In the case of an even number of corners, you can also enter the width across flats instead of the radius.
