AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a three-dimensional prismatic solid composed of multiple rectangular faces, illustrating volume subdivision. The figure includes a base cuboid with three adjacent faces extended into slanted prisms, each formed by two parallelogram sides and a rectangular top. All prisms share a common vertex and are scaled proportionally along three directions. Draw grid lines parallel to the edges inside and on the surfaces to show equal volume partitions. Present the whole as a semi-transparent wireframe to emphasize spatial geometric relationships.
