Pyramid...

This is a question that has irked me for a while now. Just never bothered to ask it.

But now I am curious if there is an obvious reason that I am missing...

Why is there no pyramid shape available as one of the Primitives in DS?

It seems like this would be a relatively basic and useful shape. Is there a geometry / mechanics reason that precludes it's inclusion?

    But you can.

    Just create a cone with 4 sides and you have a pyramid

    First reaction: "No way!"

    Second reaction: Firing up DS to try that.

    Third reaction: "Holy %^# that actually worked!"

    Well, thanks to this thread I now know how to make an 8 sided dice using Daz primitives now (use two of your cone pyramids there).  Or a 4 sided (drop the cone sides to 3)...

    Working out the numbered textures on the 4 sided die might be a bit interesting though...

    There are dice in the store, you know... https://www.daz3d.com/game-master-s-tools

    Yeah I have those, but I still like the idea of making my own using primitives!
