Is there a better software package for drawing shapes to precise measurements? I only used AutoCAD because it was ready at hand. I'm open to suggestions of alternatives. ---Ryan --- On Fri 02/10, Dan Isaac 2 < disaac2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > wrote: From: Dan Isaac 2 [mailto: disaac2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] To: icehouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2006 12:47:58 -0500 Subject: RE: [Icehouse] Zero-pip pyramids Cool.

I believe that they are both 8x scale, but I am not certain<br>of the proportions. I don't think that they were scaled up by the 11/32" &<br>5/8" proportions, but rather just by multiplying the dimensions of the<br>standard pieces.<br><br>- Dan<br><br>> -----Original Message-----<br>> From: icehouse-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<br>> [mailto:icehouse-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Ryan Hackel<br>> Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 12:01 PM<br>> To: icehouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<br>> Subject: [Icehouse] Zero-pip pyramids<br>><br>><br>><br>><br>> I just wrote up an article on odd-size pyramids.
