Isometric Projection of Pyramids

History has evidence that many pyramid shape structures have been a wonder and challenge for the architect. 
Pyramids are the regular solids with a base and slant triangular faces join at a single point. 
The point is referred as an apex of the pyramid. 

The pyramid structure either be upright/vertical pyramids or inverted pyramids.
Upright/Vertical Pyramids Examples:
Great Pyramid of Giza,
The Louvre Pyramid
Inverted Pyramids Examples:
Hanoi Museum
Hong Kong Coliseum
Let’s see step procedure for constructing an isometric drawing for pyramids. 
Draw the base of the solid "with isometric scale" as per specified condition with respect to V.P. and H.P. as per the rules of orthographic projection. 
Draw the centre of the helping figure and enclose the helping figure in a suitable rectangle. 
Transfer the co-ordinates of a centre to the sides of the enclosing rectangle with centre lines. 
Draw the two principal axes at 30° to the horizontal base line. 
Copy the length of sides of helping figure's rectangle on the respective principal axis.
Draw the vertical axis in the upright position from the centre of solid to the required height. 
Join the visible edges from the vertex to base corners by thick lines.
Complete the isometric projection with dimensioning and direction of viewing.
