Pyramid Object

What is it about?

This page covers the Pyramid primitive in Cinema 4D. It creates a parametric four-sided pyramid with adjustable size and segmentation — a simple base shape for architecture, icons and geometric designs.

This command creates a four-sided (5, if you count the base) pyramid. By default, the base of the pyramid is parallel to the XZ plane of the world coordinate system.

The pyramid has three handles:

  • Drag handle (1) to change the width (X).
  • Drag handle (2) to change the height (Y).
  • Drag handle (3) to change the depth (Z).
