Note: In BricsCAD Lite, which doesn’t support 3D Solids, the
PYRAMID command launches the AI_PYRAMID command.
Description
Creates a 3D Solid in the shape of a pyramid with at least three sides. Choose from a
combination of options including center, edge, radius, sides, height, and axis. The
pyramid can have a pointed or flat top.

Methods to create a pyramid
This command has 2 methods to begin creating a pyramid:
Specify center point
Edge
Specify center point
Begin creating a pyramid by specifying the center for the base of the
pyramid then:
Alternate options: [Edge/Sides]
Base radius
Specify the distance from the center to a vertex
as if the base is inscribed in a circle.
After you begin creating a pyramid, the following options may be available:
Sides
Specify the number of sides or vertices for the base.
Circumscribed
Specify the distance from the center to a midpoint on an edge as if the
base is circumscribed about a circle.
Edge
Radius
2Point
Specify the height of the pyramid as the distance between any two
points.
Axis endpoint
Specify the axis endpoint to define the height and orientation of the
pyramid in 3D space. The center of the base is used as the other axis
endpoint.
Top radius
Specify the distance from the center of the top face to a vertex as if
the top face is inscribed in a circle. Any radius larger than zero (0)
creates a pyramid with a flat top.
