I like seeing multiple ways to solve a problem. Thanks!

[@keggyification]

Thanks Matt, you make some good points in this video, 10 of them to be exact. 😜

[@ahmad-murery]

another way can be done by drawing a square then we draw a rectangle on one side of the square and rotate it toward the center of the base, array copy the remaining sides and finally intersect and cleanup. Thanks Matt!

Thanks Ahmad! Yet ANOTHER way to make a 4-sided pyramid in SketchUp

[@richardhaas1989]

My favorite method is which ever works best considering the project I am drawing. Like when you clicked the top of a previous pyramid for the height instead of typing it in again. It also depends on what is necessary to know when someone has to shape materials in the REAL World to make what I have modeled...

What about if you know the base size and the angle of a triangle edge?

[@SketchUp]

Great question! Here's my video response

[@gusbert]

@@SketchUp What I meant is if you know the angle of the pyramid edge from corner to peak, that's a "3D" angle, not the flat triangle angle ...

[@SketchUp]

Thanks for the clarification-here's one way to do it! kzbin.info5RyD_4-eQMw
