Off center pyramid
How would I go about making a pyramid where the high point is off center and two of the base lines are different dimensions. In the attached photo, the blue lines represent an elevation view. The drawing on the right is a side view with the pyramid laying flat. There will be 4 pyramid's put together to form a base.

Re: Off center pyramid

Re: Off center pyramid
So what would I use for the guide rails and profile. I got this way but how about the other way.

Re: Off center pyramid
If you look at my file you'll see a very, very, very small rectangle in the center of the layout.
That and the outer rectangle are the 2 rails....
You'll need to put on your "special" reading glass for this one.

Re: Off center pyramid
Mike,
Where did you get the width (9.1362) of the sweep profile? I know you got the height from my cross section dimension.
Thank you.

Re: Off center pyramid
Width of the profile doesn't really matter as long as you have the rails set up with the right width and you set the model height to the exact height it needs to be. It will automatically adjust the profile to the width of the rails.
