Right Angular Wedge

YouTube CSG

A right angular wedge can be constructed using C++ or some simple text:

:volu wedge TRAP
 30 // half height along z in mm
 40 // half height of the base (along y) in mm
 50 // half length of the long side of the base in mm
 20 // half length of the short side of the base in mm
 G4_W // material

The full source code is in detector.tg, which can be visualized using the macro file mingle.mac or gears.mac, assuming an universal Geant4 application, such as MinGLE or GEARS, is available:

git clone https://github.com/jintonic/geant4
cd geant4/detector/CSG/trap4
