[Bf-committers] GSoC 2014 Aspirant: Implementation of a Pyramid Primitive in Blender

[Eugene Minov]

To create a cone one must enter a radius.
To create a pyramid one must enter size/sizes.

Visually you can create pyramid from a cone but you would have trouble to
set exact size, i.e. you must calculate it manually using sin/cos, etc.
Also you can't create non quad pyramid.
Also cone-pyramid will be positioned with 45 angle on Z axes.

All these obviously can be changed manually after but it's not very
practical and takes extra time.
Just my 5 cents.
