WEDGE Command
Creates a 3D solid wedge.
The direction of the taper is always in the positive X-Axis direction of the UCS.
Entering a positive value draws the height along the positive Z-Axis of the current UCS. Entering a negative value draws the height along the negative Z-Axis.
The following prompts are displayed:
First Corner
Sets the first corner of the wedge base.
Other Corner
Sets the opposite corner of the wedge base, located on the X, Y plane.
Center
Creates the wedge by using a specified center point.
Cube
Creates a wedge with sides of equal length.
Length
Creates a wedge with length, width, and height values you specify. The length corresponds to the X-Axis, the width to the Y-Axis, and the height to the Z-Axis. If you pick a point to specify the length, you also specify the rotation in the XY plane.
Height
Sets the height of the wedge. Enter a positive value to draw the height along the positive Z-Axis of the current UCS. Enter a negative value to draw the height along the negative Z-Axis.
2Point (Height)
Defines the height of the wedge by specifying the distance between two points.
