SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the parametrization of a triangular prism defined by the planes x=0, y=0, z=0, z=1, and x+y=1. The user is seeking guidance on how to create separate parameterizations for the five surfaces of the prism using the basis vector r(u,v) = i + j + k. The need for a structured approach to parameterization is emphasized, indicating a requirement for clarity in defining the surfaces.

Hi,
I am having difficulty trying to parameterize triangular prism formed by the planes: x =0, y=0, z=0, z=1 and x+y=1.
I have tried a couple different ways to get the five surfaces in separate parameterisations using the r(u,v)=i +j+k basis.
I just need a push in the right direction but am currently perplexed.

Many thanks
