The Prism tool makes a brush from an outline you click point by point, then pulls it up: odd-shaped floors, triangular wedges, angled walls, a hexagonal platform.
Drawing a prism
- Pick Prism on the toolbar.
- Click on a surface (or in empty space) to place the first point of the base.
- Click to add more points. Backspace removes the last one; right-clicking a point also removes it.
- Press Enter to extrude the base: move the mouse to set the height.
- Press Enter again to finish and create the brush.
The points snap to the grid and to the corners and edges you can see.
