Tetrahedron Tool

Activate the tool, then:

  • Select or create two points in the xOy plane to obtain a regular tetrahedron with one edge defined by the two given points, and lying on the xOy plane.

or

  • Select two points having the same z-coordinate, z=c, to obtain a regular tetrahedron lying on the plane z = c, with one edge of the base defined by the two given points. The tetrahedron can be rotated around the specified edge by dragging the third vertex of the base, created automatically.

or

  • Select two points having different z-coordinates to obtain a regular tetrahedron with the edge of one face defined by the two given points and the third vertex of the same face having as z-coordinate the average of the z-coordinates of the given points. The tetrahedron can be rotated around the specified edge by dragging the third vertex of the base, created automatically.
