Do someone know the best way to model a glass pyramid like this in max.
Of course with window sections

there's more than one way to do it, what's the part you're having troubles with? structure, glasses, slicing out windows..?

also, I'm not sure I can really make out the actual shape of it from this picture.

Hi, its a three sided pyramin and i have problems with structure and also glas, i think i dont know how to begin.

well, I guess it really depends on what level of detail you actually need (or what kind of drawings you are provided, if any), but this might be a starting point. as rough as it may be, but still a starting point:

drew a first line then converted it to poly



from there you can easily finish up the structure



this is just a quick and dirty one, hope it helps anyway.

Thank you very much for your help rivoli.
I will try it like this. But what is the first line you made?

I would say the 90 degree upright would be the best one to start with

I found out how you did it, will try more later,
Thanks

here it is:



it looks like a good point to start working this out to me, but then again, there sure are plenty of other ones.
