Here are some illustrations describing every parameter. The 3d picture shows which side of the cube is shown in the left drawing. You can email me for further questions.

I hope you understand 'Bottom width ' and 'Bottom length'. You can adjust the size of the lower polygon with them.

What you can do with the 'extended cube'...

You need to adjust 4 parameters to set the width and length of the upper polygon of the cube. If you want the upper and lower polygon to have the same width, you'll need to set the 'Top width left' and the 'Top width right' value to half the Bottom width value.

Here's an example:

Bottom Width = 20

Top Width Left = 10
Top Width Right = 10

If you add the Top width left and  Top width right value up it will be the same as the Bottom width value :-)

I hope you'll understand this with these pictures. Otherwise you can email me.
