Hello, I want to draw a pyramid where all sides are an equilateral triangle. I’ve tried using planes at an angle, and adjusting the angle after extrusion. (if I only knew the exact angle? ) So, 4 sided, all sides a triangle with equal length sides. Any ideas? ps. new here, if this is the w…

If you need detailed pyramid, here some solution: With loft, as my tetrahedron , you can set the angle of the sides… [Tetrahedron in Shapr 3D (with loft command)] Or sculp, like my octhedron … [Octahedron in Shapr3D] Regards: A

[image] Asymmetrical pyramid aka hip roof Need help? We are here. Thanks - I had tried that too. Here is the file if you want to give it a try. asymmetrical pyramid.shapr (1.09 MB) Take at at this posting above.

How I did it: The trick is to make a circle with the same radius as the length of the sides in one of the bottom corners of a square cupe cut in half diagonal. Then rotate the circle 45 degree so it ends up on the diagonal face. Then draw a center line on that face and trim it of on th…

Find height of the desired pyramid (see below). Draw a square. Extrude the square to the height “h” of the pyramid. Select the top surface of the extrusion and scale it to 0%. [Pyramid]

My first method was to find the height too. Not using that formula but just using regular Pythagoras. Basically you first find the height of a triangle with pythagoras and then that height will be the Hypothenus of a triangle to the center, That again will give you the height of the pyramid. But b…

Good tips guys, very useful to know.

Thanks for the great ideas. It’ll take a little while for me to try each one, I’ll get back to you then.

I!ve made the loft version for pyramid. If you need another parapameters ,you can “stand” up any kind of triangle. [Pyramid with loft in Shapr3D] R, A

Here’s another way. (Sorry about the speed. I had to speed it up to fit in 10mb.)

If only they could have built the Great Pyramid that way :grin:

And here’s a variation using Intersect.
