AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a prism by first creating seven points A, B, C, D, E, F, and G on a plane, then forming a polygon with these points as the base. Next, create a line h on the plane and a point I on the line, and use point I and line h to create a plane i perpendicular to the base. Translate the polygon along vector u to form another parallel polygon. Then, create perpendicular lines from each point to line h and from each point to plane i, and find the intersections of these lines to form the prism's sides.
