I want to draw and make animate solid when  I rotate this figure around the line `CD`.

I do not how to start. Hot to get it?

This question is conceptually almost the same as your previous [question on the tetrahedron](https://topanswers.xyz/tex?q=1349), so we can recycle a lot of things from there. Basically you can use routines like `draw face with corners` for an arbitrary polyhedron as long as it is sufficiently convex. In the case at hand, there is however one plane which needs to be treated separately. Please note that if you have updated your pgf installation to 3.1.6, you need to get the [newest version of `3dtools`](https://github.com/marmotghost/tikz-3dtools).
