Pyramid

3-D Standard > New > Solid primitive > Pyramid

You use this function to create a regular straight pyramid either as a solid body or a hollow body.

Choose the Type of insertion: Either via preview or Via points (activate checkbox).

Then, enter the required parameters.

Type		Via preview	Via points
Solid body	Hollow	Height Number of corners Corner radius of base surface B Corner radius of top surface D	Number of corners Corner radius of base surface B Corner radius of top surface D
Hollow body	Hollow	Height Number of corners Corner radius of base surface B Corner radius of top surface D Wall thickness	Number of corners Corner radius of base surface B Corner radius of top surface D Wall thickness

Enter the article number and specify, by activating or deactivating the relevant checkboxes, whether:

• the part is to be inserted as main part or sub-part of the active part,
• the part is to be referenced,
• a feature is to be created for the part, and
• the part is to be BOM-relevant.

 

If you have chosen the insertion type "via preview" (= Via points), specify the fitting position of the pyramid in the drawing. The fitting point is the centre of the circumcircle of the base surface.

If you have chosen the insertion type Via points , define the height by specifying the start and end points of the axis, e.g. Absolute (0,0,0) and (0,0,500).

 

Please note:

• The corner radius is the radius of the circumcircle.

• In the case of an even number of corners, you can also enter the width across flats instead of the radius.

 (1) Height, (2) Number of corners, (3) Radius of the base surface, (4) Radius of the top surface
