- RPIPE Menu: PRISM
- ==============================================================================
- Creates a solid round pipe or a set of two concentric polygons.
-
- 1. * (CHAR) plane of base circle (x-xy,y-yz,z-zx) <x>
- 2. * (POINT) center of circle
- 4. * (NUM) outer radius of base circle (greater than 0)
- 5. * (NUM) "wall" thickness (greater than 0)
- for option `x':
- 6. * (NUM) height of prism
- for option `y' or `z':
- 6. * (NUM) length of prism
- for all options:
- 7. * (Y/N) positive prism ? <y>

- Description:
- This command creates two (2D) concentric polygons, or a solid round pipe based
- on the polygons.
- Specify the base plane (one of the axial planes; x xy plane, the default, y
- yz plane or z xz plane). Define the center point of the circular base.
- Specify the outer radius, the "wall" thickness and the height (for option `x')
- or the length (for options `y' or `z'). You may enter `0' for a 2D polygon.
- Enter `y' (the default) for a positive solid, or `n' for a negative one.
- You are prompted to create further pipes until another command is selected.
-
- Example: \rpipe x 3 3 0 4 0.2 1 y
-
- Result: A positive pipe is created with its center point at 3 3 0, a radius
- of 4 units (meters or feet), "wall" thickness of 0.2 units and a height of 1
- unit.
