How To

To create a Pyramid:

  1. Choose a creation method, either Base/Apex or Center.
  2. Drag the mouse to define the base of the pyramid. If you’re using Base/Apex creation, you define the opposite corners of the base, moving the mouse horizontally or vertically to define the width and depth of the base. If you’re using Center creation, you drag from the center of the base rather than the corner.
  3. Click, and then move the mouse to define the Height.
  4. Click to complete the pyramid.
  5. Note: Hold the CTRL key while using either creation method to constrain the base to a square.
