• A sculpture combining geometric structures with fluid forms.

• This is a type of high-heeled shoe that features a wedge-shaped heel instead of a stiletto heel.

​ (a)   : The horizontal distance on the X-Axis

​ (b)   : The vertical distance on the Y-Axis

​ (c)   : The elevated distance on the Z-Axis

​ (d)   : The number of degrees of the wedge's sloping surface.

• ANGLE
• HEIGHT
• LENGTH
• WIDTH

Arrange the steps in correct order to create a wedge:

• Specify the height of the wedge.

• Type 'WE' or select the 'WEDGE' command

• Starts the wedge by setting the first corner.

• Specify the opposite corner of the wedge.

Match the modifiers with their functionalities:

CUBE - ​ (a)  

2Point -​ (b)  

CENTER - ​ (c)  

• Creates a wedge with sides of equal length.
• Defines the height by specifying the distance bet
• Creates the wedge by using a specified center poin

Match the misconception with its clarification:

• Are wedges simply 3D triangles?

• No, wedges are 3D solids with volume, not just triangles in 3D space.

• Can I adjust the slope's direction?

• Yes, you can easily adjust the slope's direction by redrawing, rotating, or aligning as you prefer.

• Where is the wedge tool in 3D tools?

• No, the base point is flexible; you determine it with your initial click.

• Is the wedge's base always at the bottom

• Find the wedge tool under 3D modeling shapes, below the box command. Just click the triangle for more shapes!
