Pyramid

The Pyramid command draws a pyramid.

  2. Pick the end of the pyramid (apex), or type a value to set the height.

Command-line options

The direction is defined by the position of the mouse cursor.

Creates a pyramid perpendicular to the construction plane.

AroundCurve

Draws the base polygon perpendicular to a curve.

  • Select a curve and pick the center of the base polygon on the curve and a radius or diameter.

Solid

BothSides

Creates the pyramid in both directions from the base point.

The specified height is applied to each direction, so the total height is doubled.
