There are much easier ways of going about making a complex
multifaceted object than with a prism. The first would be
with my diamonds.inc files. One is in macro form and the other
is a standard include file. The macro is in the macrostation
at http://twysted.net and the inc file is in the pov objects
collection at the same site. The second alternative is to use
the brilliant gem stone cuts posted recently in the one of the
scene files groups.

I'm not altogether sure you will ever be succesfull unless
its a very simple like four sided two bevel stone. It all
depends on what the shape is. You might also be better off
trying a lathe instead of a prism. Again it depends on the
desired shape. An intersection of planes is also an easier
approach than the one you have under taken and will in most
cases render faster than the rest listed.
