AI Drawing Prompt Reference

In a 3D coordinate view, draw a composite solid made from two matching rectangular prisms, arranged so it can be decomposed for a volume calculation. Include on-screen step text and input-box style parameter prompts to guide the process. Construct a base set of points and a central edge, then generate the top/bottom and left/right parts by translating the corresponding points. Connect the boundary using several line segments to form the outer contour (before cutting), and use translated corresponding edges to create the cut/inner boundary lines. Keep both the cut-edged segments and the filled contour edges visible, together with the explanatory step text for the calculation.
