The reason why there are dashed lines on the top is that you do not draw the polygon on the top. As for the alphabetic numbering, `foreach` understands alphabetical sequences. (Why LaTeX decided to "hide" the `\@Alph` command from the general public I don't know, but we can use it invoking `\makeatletter` and `\makeatother`.) Building up the list of vertices is straightforward with the `/.list` key handler:
```
\edef\mycorners{{(A')}}		
\tikzset{add corner/.code={\edef\mycorners{\mycorners,{(#1')}}},
	add corner/.list={B,...,\myLetter}}		
```
All these things combined give
```

If you want to wrap this in a loop, a few precautions are necessary.

I want to say about this code ``` \documentclass[border=2mm,tikz]{standalone} \usetikzlibrary{calc,3dtools}% https://github.com/marmotghost/tikz-3dtools \makeatletter \tikzset{Dot/.style 2 args={circle,fill,inner sep=1.2pt,label=#1:{#2}}, dot/.style={Dot={below}{#1}},dot'/.style={Dot={above}{#1}}, add corner/.code={\edef\mycorners{\mycorners,{(#1')}}}, Alpha/.code 2 args={\edef#1{\@Alph{#2}}}} \makeatother \begin{document} \foreach \Ncorners in {3,...,12} {\begin{tikzpicture}[line cap=round,line join=round,same bounding box=A] \begin{scope}[3d/install view={phi=110,theta=70}, declare function={R=3;% radius of the base H=5;% height of S % height of the intersecting plane },Alpha={\myLetter}{\Ncorners}, ] \path (0,0,0) coordinate (O) (0,0,H) coordinate (S) (0,0,H/2) coordinate (CC) foreach \X [count=\Y] in {A,...,\myLetter} {({R*cos(\Y*360/\Ncorners)},{R*sin(\Y*360/\Ncorners)},0) coordinate (\X) ({R*cos(\Y*360/\Ncorners)},{R*sin(\Y*360/\Ncorners)},H) coordinate (\X')}; \path foreach \X in {A,...,\myLetter}{ (\X) node[dot={$\X$}]{} (\X') node[dot'={$\X'$}]{}}; \edef\mycorners{{(A')}} \tikzset{add corner/.list={B,...,\myLetter}} \tikzset{draw prism/.code={\begin{scope}[3d/polyhedron/.cd,O={(CC)},fore/.append style={fill=none}, back/.append style={3d/hidden}, fore/.append style={3d/visible,fill=none},##1, edges have complete dashes] \foreach \X [remember=\X as \LastX (initially \myLetter)] in {A,...,\myLetter} {\tikzset{3d/polyhedron/draw face with corners/.expanded={{(\LastX)},{(\LastX')},{(\X')},(\X)}}} \tikzset{3d/polyhedron/draw face with corners/.expanded={\mycorners}} \end{scope}}} \begin{scope} \clip[even odd clip] (S) circle[radius=R] [generous outside path]; \tikzset{draw prism={fore/.append style={3d/hidden}}} \end{scope} \begin{scope} \clip (S) circle[radius=R]; \tikzset{draw prism} \end{scope} \path pic{3d/frustum={R=R,r=R,h=H}}; \end{scope} \end{tikzpicture}} \end{document} ```

In the above code it is ``` \draw[3d/hidden] ([xshift=-\myr*1cm]O) -- ([xshift=-\myr*1cm]S) ([xshift=\myr*1cm]O) -- ([xshift=\myr*1cm]S) (O) circle[radius=\myr]; ``` so you only need to draw them with the `3d/hidden` or another dashed style.

Well, if I remember correctly, my code was written under the assumption that the top plane is not covered. Of course, if you do have a top plane, then the vertical boundaries of the cylinder should be completely dashed.

On my machine your code produces ![Screen Shot 2021-05-08 at 9.27.48 PM.png](/image?hash=e686d79a0bd726916f04934e74e1d98a2fa126c90bc32ac3f8325acc6c432097) which looks to me like the GeoSpace result. Which part is different?
