Pyramid
A rectangular base and four triangular faces.
The Pyramid has a rectangular base and four triangular faces that meet at a vertex on top. Unlike a four sided cone, the base is rectangular and the edges stay aligned with the axes.
Properties
- Width and Depth: Measurements of the base, on the X and Z axes. With different values the base becomes rectangular.
- Height: Distance from the base to the tip, on the Y axis.
- Corner Radius: Rounds the edges and the tip. Since the arc stays tangent to the faces, the tip and the slanted edges pull in a little.
- Corner Seg.: Number of divisions of the corner curve. With one segment the corner becomes a straight chamfer. It only has an effect with the radius above zero.
Topology
The base is a quad and the four sides are triangles. With the corner radius above zero, each edge becomes a strip of quads and each corner becomes a patch that closes at the pole.
