FillPrism command
Greetings
I have been trying to model a channel using an STL file and I've successfully done it once. However, with two other geometries I have not been able to. Whenever I create my particles with a drawbox or fillbox command I do not have problems. However, when I try to use fillprism no particles are created.
Is there anything particular one should know about the fillprism command?
Since I am using a 7% slope channel, I have also tried to use the fillbox command but I cant seem to rotate the boundary box.
fillprism x="0" y="1" z="0"
point x="-1" y="0.1" z="-1"/>
point x="1" y="0.1" z="-1"/>
point x="1" y="0.1" z="1"/>
point x="-1" y="0.1" z="1"/>
point x="-1" y="19.9" z="-2.7"/>
point x="1" y="19.9" z="-2.7"/>
point x="1" y="19.9" z="-0.7"/>
point x="-1" y="19.9" z="-0.7"/>
modefill>void
/fillprism>
This is the fillprism command im using and it is not creating any fluid particles.
Since I just need to fill the channel, fillbox could also work but I'd need to rotate said box and I can't seem to do that
Thank you!
PS: I took the "<" out of every line because it wouldnt show otherwise

Use later fillbox, since it is easier, you can define a box where your STL is included and particles will be created from internal seed point untill boundary particles of the STL OR the limits of the box.
