## Object Properties

### Size

Parameter ID: `PRIM_PYRAMID_LEN` · Range: [XYZ m]

These values give the object's dimensions in the X, Y and Z directions.

Different pyramids.

### Segments

Parameter ID: `PRIM_PYRAMID_SUB` · Range: [1..1000]

The number of subdivisions applied to all surfaces.

### Orientation

Parameter ID: `PRIM_AXIS`

These options define the direction in which the object will "point". Using these options it is easier - and faster - to rotate the object (without rotating the object coordinate system as well).

### Switch to Updated Pyramid

Parameter ID: `PRIM_PYRAMID_SWITCH_TO_UPDATED`

This button will only be displayed if an older scene is imported and serves to convert the pyramid to an updated primitive with optimized UV mapping (a prompt will appear first). For a newly created pyramid, the updated primitive will be used directly.
