"Crystal" square design help

So I want to make my own type of crystal in which I use 2 suqare with the same size. There is the inner and outer square. I want to rotate the inner square in a way to make it stick out on each side of the square.

(Forget about the imagine below I just mean the image on top where the red line extends beyond the black square)

Get two squares of the same size and rotate one 45 degrees.

Yeah but i want it to stick out on every side and in 3d

Ah, so cubes, not squares.

So rotate it on 2 axes instead of just 1 to get the points facing out in the middle of all the faces.

If you’re doing it in Studio just put the 2 cubes flat on the baseplate so they are square to the X, Y, and Z axes and use the Rotate Tool to turn one 45°.
Now press Ctrl L. The tool will change to rotating in world space instead of the rotation of the object you have selected.
Rotate the angled cube 45 degrees.
You should have the crystal you want.

Im not sure what you mean. May you elaborate or show a video

Just go step by step in Studio in the order I suggested. It should be obvious as you’re working on it.

@Philipceo90 The shape you want is not possible to get by combining two cubes because you need six corners (for the six faces of the first cube) whereas a cube will have eight.

Geometry is obviously not the forte of some of the other individuals in the thread.

Is this close to what you want?

There’s a few ways you could make it:

1: Take a mesh of an octahedron and put it inside the base cube

2: Use the corner-wedge baseparts to make small 4-sided pyramids, rotate 45 degrees, and put them on each side of the base cube

3: Go in Blender, subdivide cube once, knife out the rotated squares on sides, scale the center points of those

Hehe, whoops, yeah. I was trying to picture it in my mind while rushing to reply to the post.
