Primitives
Wedge
Wedge creates a sloped solid with a rectangular footprint and one sloping face. It is useful when a single primitive expresses the intended slope more cleanly than several Boolean cuts.

Step by step
- Choose Wedge and place its base/reference point.
- Set Length, Width and Height.
- Rotate it so the slope faces the required direction.
- Apply named edge chamfers/fillets after orientation is confirmed.
Named edges
Wedge feature behaviour is edge-specific. Use the visible selected edge and feature preview to confirm you are modifying the intended base, vertical or sloped edge.
Keep in mind
- When exporting a featured Wedge, visually compare Plant 3D™ against Designer rather than assuming native WEDGE conventions match automatically.
