Creates a prism by defining a polygon (multi-sided, equal lengths, closed) as its base shape.

1. Create the base polygon by selecting the centerpoint and one of the vertices. You can enter the number of sides, angle, and radius or side length in the Inspector Bar. The polygon is created on the current workplane.
   
2. Select a third point to specify the prism height, or enter the height in the Inspector Bar. You can create the prism on either side of the workplane.
