I am trying to create an intersection that spins around the vertical 
axis, like this:

https://i.stack.imgur.com/xT5W9.jpg

except extruded along the y axis.

How would I go about creating this? I tried making an intersection of 
planes, but it only works between 0 and 180 degrees. Any more than that 
and it behaves strangely.

#declare plane_wedge = intersection
{
	plane {-x, 0}
	plane {+x, 0	rotate y * 270}
	pigment {color srgb <1,2/4,0>}
}

Thanks.


Mike

Segment of cylinder ring.

Make inner radius 0

The problem with this shape is that when I set the rotation to zero the 
shape should *disappear* completely. Instead, it *appears* completely.

Never, mind. The shape can't tell the difference between 0 degrees and 
360 degrees, so it's actually better it defaults to *visible*. I can add 
additional code to hide the shape when I need it.
