How to achieve a part shaped like this?

[manymillerboy]

1. What do you want to achieve?
   I want to achieve automatic code that can make a part that looks like this at any size.
   

   

2. What is the issue?
   I can’t Figure out the equations, nor can I do the math(cause I’m a idiot), to achieve this to be auto matic.

3. What solutions have you tried so far?
   I’ve googled, and looked on the devforums, BUT, I still can’t find a solution.

This would probably be really complex to generate with a script so what I’d recommend is make this a mesh and store it. Then you can just clone it and re-size it as you would with any part to get various sizes.

Thanks for the help! I didn’t consider that (at first) so I will give it a try.

This can actually be achieved programmatically, this shape is what is referred to as a truncated pyramid. Here’s a function I wrote which can be used to create truncated pyramids of various sizes.

local function generateTruncatedPyramid(size : number) : Model
	local model = Instance.new"Model"
	local centerPart = Instance.new"Part"
	centerPart.Position = Vector3.new()
	centerPart.Size = Vector3.new(size/2, size/2, size/2)
	centerPart.Parent = model
	local topWedgePart = Instance.new"WedgePart"
	topWedgePart.Position = Vector3.new(0, 0, -size/2)
	topWedgePart.Size = Vector3.new(size/2, size/2, size/2)
	topWedgePart.Parent = model
	local bottomWedgePart = Instance.new"WedgePart"
	bottomWedgePart.Position = Vector3.new(0, 0, size/2)
	bottomWedgePart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 180, 0)
	bottomWedgePart.Size = Vector3.new(size/2, size/2, size/2)
	bottomWedgePart.Parent = model
	local leftWedgePart = Instance.new"WedgePart"
	leftWedgePart.Position = Vector3.new(-size/2, 0, 0)
	leftWedgePart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 90, 0)
	leftWedgePart.Size = Vector3.new(size/2, size/2, size/2)
	leftWedgePart.Parent = model
	local rightWedgePart = Instance.new"WedgePart"
	rightWedgePart.Position = Vector3.new(size/2, 0, 0)
	rightWedgePart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, -90, 0)
	rightWedgePart.Size = Vector3.new(size/2, size/2, size/2)
	rightWedgePart.Parent = model
	local topLeftCornerWedgePart = Instance.new"CornerWedgePart"
	topLeftCornerWedgePart.Position = Vector3.new(-size/2, 0, -size/2)
	topLeftCornerWedgePart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, -90, 0)
	topLeftCornerWedgePart.Size = Vector3.new(size/2, size/2, size/2)
	topLeftCornerWedgePart.Parent = model
	local topRightCornerWedgePart = Instance.new"CornerWedgePart"
	topRightCornerWedgePart.Position = Vector3.new(size/2, 0, -size/2)
	topRightCornerWedgePart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 180, 0)
	topRightCornerWedgePart.Size = Vector3.new(size/2, size/2, size/2)
	topRightCornerWedgePart.Parent = model
	local bottomLeftCornerWedgePart = Instance.new"CornerWedgePart"
	bottomLeftCornerWedgePart.Position = Vector3.new(-size/2, 0, size/2)
	bottomLeftCornerWedgePart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
	bottomLeftCornerWedgePart.Size = Vector3.new(size/2, size/2, size/2)
	bottomLeftCornerWedgePart.Parent = model
	local bottomRightCornerWedgePart = Instance.new"CornerWedgePart"
	bottomRightCornerWedgePart.Position = Vector3.new(size/2, 0, size/2)
	bottomRightCornerWedgePart.Orientation = Vector3.new(0, 90, 0)
	bottomRightCornerWedgePart.Size = Vector3.new(size/2, size/2, size/2)
	bottomRightCornerWedgePart.Parent = model
	return model
end

local truncatedPyramid = generateTruncatedPyramid(8)
truncatedPyramid.Parent = workspace

Wow that looks amazing. Thanks for the function, it’ll help some people I’m sure.
