AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a rectangular block and two intersecting planes within it to calculate the angle between them. First, draw the six faces of the rectangular block. Then, select two adjacent faces as planes and calculate the angle using their normal vectors. Finally, input the definition of the planes through the text fields to generate the planes and calculate the angle.
The prompt above was compiled from the original drawing commands and is for reference only.
