A pyramid is a polyhedron formed by tapering any polygon. The polygon used in forming the pyramid is called the base of the pyramid.

In CSG notation, if x represents the base, then:

  • if x is solid,
    • xT represents the corresponding solid pyramid
  • if x is hollow,
    • xT represents the corresponding uncapped pyramid
  • if x is marked,
    • xT represents the corresponding (unknown) pyramid
