Wedge

Works with Bricscad (Windows) Classic and Pro, Bricscad (Linux) Classic

Creates a wedge as a polyface mesh (Classic); creates a wedge as a 3D solid (Pro).

Accessing the Command

command bar: wedge

alias: we

menu bar: Draw | 3D Entities | Wedge

toolbar: Solids |

: wedge

Prompts you in the command bar:

Center/<Corner of wedge> <4.25,0.00,1.84>: (Pick a point, or enter coordinates.)

Cube/Length/<Opposite corner>: (Pick another point, or enter an option.)

Height of wedge: (Specify the height, or pick two points.)

Command Options

Option	Description
Corner of wedge	Specifies one corner of the wedge's base.
Opposite corner	Specifies the other corner of the base.
Height of wedge	Specifies the height of the wedge. Note that the tall end of the wedge is drawn from the first corner point specified.
Center	Draws the wedge using a center point and a corner. Prompts you: Center of wedge - specify the center of the entire wedge (not the base). Corner of wedge - specify the location of one of the wedge's corners.
Cube	Draws a wedge with equal length, width, and height. Prompts you: Length of sides of cubic wedge - specify the same distance for each dimension, length, width, and height.
Length	Allows you to enter distances of all three dimensions; don't enter coordinates. Prompts you: Length of side - specify the length in the x direction; enter a negative number to draw the wedge in the negative x direction. Width across wedge - specify the width of the base. Height of wedge - specify the height.
