Poor Man's 3D Wire Frame

[bplus]

@NakedApe give this code a look see. It is constantly rotating over z axis, it's also painting panels pretty well. Easy pea brain plus method you wouldn't need data for the points, they would be a square in a circle

You only have 4 points at base of pyramid instead of this 12 point base.
