Wedge

A triangular prism (ramp) whose far edge rises to the full height.

Wedge is a triangular prism where only one end edge of the base rectangle rises to the full height — ramps, slopes, gable roofs.

Geometry

From the base rectangle (Width × Depth), the +Z edge rises by Height, producing a prism with a triangular cross-section. Width runs along local X, Depth along local Z, Height along local Y, and the pivot is at the center of the base.

It is closed by five faces: base, back, slope and two side triangles.

Parameters

Label	Script key	Default	Range	Description
Width	`w`	1	0.01 ~ 1000	Width along local X, in meters
Depth	`d`	2	0.01 ~ 1000	Depth along local Z — the run of the slope, in meters
Height	`h`	1	0.01 ~ 1000	Height of the raised edge, in meters
Rotation	`rotation`	0	0 ~ 360	Y-axis rotation of the shape itself, in degrees

Rotation is a parameter that turns the shape itself around Y, not the Transform rotation. Use it to change the slope direction while keeping the pivot and bounds. It composes with the Transform rotation.

The X handles drive Width, the Z handles Depth and the Y handles Height. There is no angle parameter — the slope follows the Height ÷ Depth ratio.

Tips

To dial in a slope angle, lock Depth and adjust only Height — a 30° ramp is Height = Depth × 0.577.

For a gable roof, mirror two wedges or attach the Mirror modifier.
