- Octahedron[ <Point A>, <Point B>, <Direction> ]
- Creates an octahedron having segment [AB] as an edge.
- The other vertices are univocally determined by the given direction, that needs to be:
- a vector, a segment, a line, a ray orthogonal to ( AB);
- or
- a polygon in a plan parallel to ( AB).
- The created octahedron will have:
- a face with edge [AB] in a plan orthogonal to the given vector/segment/line/ray
- or
- a face with edge [AB] in a plan parallel to the polygon's one.
