Help with Basic Shape Manipulation

G Ahern
Newcomer
I am sure this is a newbie question (so be gentle...)

I am trying to manipulate the BASIC SHAPE - POLYGON PRISIM 19 to have the narrow part of the prisim at the bottom (opposite of the picture attached).

For the life of me, I cannot seem to find the correct configuration - or if it is even possible...

am I crazy like it says on my bracelet, or am I missing something.

This shape is fairly easy and straightforward to make with the ArchiCAD modelling tools.

You could have a slab with angled edges or if you want to make the top and bottom some specific size, you can use the morph tool.

If you are new to the morph tool, I would look at the youtube tutorials (link to the channel at the top of this page). They are very easy to follow along and a great way to teach the tool.

You can also start by turning that object into a morph and just rotating it in elevation/section or 3D,
