AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a triangular prism by first defining a plane a through points A, B, and C. Select points D and E on plane a to form the base polygon poly1 with points A, B, D, and E. Choose point F on the y-axis and construct the triangular prism c with poly1 as the base and F as the apex. Then select point J on edge AF, and let the intersecting plane g form another polygon poly2.
