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.

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.

I!ve made the loft version for pyramid.
If you need another parapameters ,you can “stand” up any kind of triangle.
