Here’s the workflow:

  • draw a triangle
  • extrude it
  • extrude all sides with the create “new” shape command
  • rotate each cube on the base side of the triangle with 90-arccos(1/3) so 19.471221°
  • subtract the 3 cubes from the triangular shape (note: the sketch layer needs to be hidden so you can select the shape in the middle)
  • voila, there’s your tetrahedron

Here’s a quick video:

(this version of the app will be released in a few days, so some buttons might look a little different, but you can do the exact same thing in Shapr3D v2.0.6 which is available in the App Store)
