Hi, it was not clear... How to measure diameter or radius of the pyramide basis? (the program doesn't catch the basic circle, similar to cylinder...while pointing edge it gives answer "infinite")
Thank you in advance for the answer!

Question

....should I choose center of the pyramide...? or draw additional "helping" circle from its central point...?

Hi Ekaterina!

Thanks for your questions! I'm not quite sure what you mean, but if you want to change how you draw a pyramid (a solid Brep shape), check the draw options from the Rhino Command prompt when drawing it. Click on "Mode=Circumscribed" to change it to "Mode=Inscribed" to change what the radius is, either to the corner or to the nearest edge. If you'd just like to draw the length of an edge and that be the base of your pyramid, click on "Edge". See attached image

Cheers!
