Pyramid (3D Solid)
()
Keyboard: PYRAMID
Alias: PYR
Draws a three-dimensional pyramid as an ACIS solid.
To draw a pyramid by defining the center of its base
Specify center point of base or [Edge/Sides]: Specify the center point of the pyramid base.
Specify base radius or [Inscribed]: Enter the radius of the base, or specify a point. To draw the pyramid within the base, choose Inscribed; by default the pyramid is drawn around the specified base (circumscribed).
Specify height or [2Point (Two Points)/Axis Endpoint] <default>: Enter the height of the pyramid. To specify the height using the distance between two points, choose 2Point, then specify the first and second points. To specify a point that defines the height and orientation of the pyramid, choose Axis Endpoint, then specify a point.
To draw a pyramid by defining the edge of its base
Specify center point of base or [Edge/Sides]: Choose Edge.
First point for base of pyramid: Specify the first point of the edge of the pyramid base.
Specify second point: Specify the second point of the edge of the pyramid base.
Specify height or [2Point (Two Points)/Axis Endpoint] <default>: Enter the height of the pyramid. To specify the height using the distance between two points, choose 2Point, then specify the first and second points. To specify a point that defines the height and orientation of the pyramid, choose Axis Endpoint, then specify a point.
To specify the number of sides for the pyramid
Specify center point of base or [Edge/Sides]: Choose Sides.
Enter number of sides <4>: Enter the number of sides for the pyramid.
