PARALLELEPIPED,<para_name>
[/COORDPARA=(<corn_1>,<corn_2>,<corn_3>)]
[/CENLINPARA=(<cl_pnt_1>,<cl_pnt_2>,<corn>)];
<para_name> is the name of the parallelepiped and has the type PARALLELEPIPED_3D. The maximum length of <para_name> is 32 characters.
COORDPARA=(<corn_1>,<corn_2>,<corn_3>)
<corn_1> is the origin of the parallelepiped and the lower right corner when looking in the direction of the centerline. <corn_2> is the upper right corner at the end surface when looking in the same direction. <corn_3> is then, in the same way, the upper left corner at the end surface.
<corn_1>, <corn_2> and <corn_3> all have the type POINT_3D.
COORDPARA=(<cl_pnt_1>,<cl_pnt_2>,<corn>)
<cl_pnt_1> is the starting point of the center line and <cl_pnt_2> is the ending point of the center line.
<corn> is the upper left corner at the end surface when looking in the direction of the center line
<cl_pnt_1>, <cl_pnt_2> and <corn> all have the type POINT_3D.
