Would some kind soul please tell me how to create a 4-sided (bottom + 3-sides) prism (pyramid) in 3DS2 ? I have tried lofting a 3-sided N-gon, and tessellating the same object/element in the Editor. The prism always turns out lopsided. I'm not an idiot, but this stupid little problem is pointing me in that direction. Thanks, in advance.

A hemisphere set to 4 sides will create a 4-sided pyramid. If you need a 3-sided pyramid, use a 3-sided cone. The cone will also give you control over the pyramid's aspect ratio. – Jack

Thank's Jack. I'll give it another shot. -Chuck
