AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Draw a square pyramid, highlighting its geometric structure. Start by plotting the coordinate axes and finding their intersection point. Use this point to construct the base and sides of the pyramid. Then, draw a ray from the center of the base upwards, locate key points along it, and use these to define the apex of the pyramid. Connect the apex to each vertex of the base to form the edges. Finally, mark the center of the base and sides, and draw lines from the apex to these centers to complete the pyramid's detailed structure.
