Examples

VBA:

    ' This example creates a wedge in model space.
    
    Dim wedgeObj As Acad3DSolid
    Dim center(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim length As Double
    Dim width As Double
    Dim height As Double
    
    ' Define the wedge
    center(0) = 5#: center(1) = 5#: center(2) = 0
    length = 10#: width = 15#: height = 20#
    
    ' Create the wedge in model space
    Set wedgeObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddWedge(center, length, width, height)
    
    ' Change the viewing direction of the viewport
