  • Note the 3 sets of dynahandles. The top dynahandle will control both the height and radius/angle of the upper edge. The single dynahandle below will control the base radius while the dynahandle  with 6 handles + origin will control the position and orientation. Single left click + hold on a handle and drag it to modify as needed or right click on a handle to get additional options.

  • Right click on the base/Upper dynahandle origin and use Syn Radius to effect both when moving either radius (unchecked they will move independent of each other.)

  • You can enter values in the dialog to modify the pyramid as well as using the dynahandles.
