Shapes look most kool I have attempted to register to access but no email as yet.

Is there a problem at all???

Thanks

Any chance I can get one of you lovely folks to save the pyramid shapes here as an older version?

Much appreciated if anyone can lend a hand.

I’ll have to get around to fixing this one of these days. I didn’t realize that people would use them upside down.

Unfortunately, I can’t see an easy solution, but here are the steps. It isn’t hard to do, but you have to do it for each bar.

For each bar in the pyramid:

1. Sub-select the bar
2. Go to: Window > Show ShapeSheet
3. Right-click and choose: Insert Section…
4. Check: Text transform
5. Find the Text transform section in the ShapeSheet
6. For the TxtAngle cell, type: -Sheet.264!Angle.
Note: You’ll have to figure out the “264″ part for your shape. Just look for the numbers at the top of the ShapeSheet in the Width and Height cells.
7. For the TxtPinY cell, type: Height*0.5
8. For the TxtLocPinY cell, type: TxtHeight*0.5

However with these pyramids when I turn them upside down (rotate 180 degrees) my rotated (also 180 degrees) text blocks move one layer down. (??)

so in the end my upside down pyramid top layer has no text and the bottom layer’s text hangs below the pyramid shape.

Is there a solution to keep rotated text in the correct rotated pyramid layer (instead of one layer beneath it)?

I’ve uploaded a new file, which fixes a bug in one of the masters (wrong shape!) and adds four more “manual format” shapes.

Hope these help. Also, I’m considering making the right-side shapes automatically be a darker shade of the left-side shapes. Not sure if that’s what folks want or not, though.

Thank you for the triangles! I have one question about the colors. I’d like to give each level a color that i can pick myself. Now it uses auto coloring, but I can’t find a way to turn it off.

Thank you! Harald
