Diamond terraces: a geometric shape of nested diamonds stepping down in tiers
Picture a terraced pit drawn from an isometric angle: 20 diamond outlines, the widest at the top, each one smaller and lower than the last. A slight sideways sway, set by a Curvature of 38, keeps the stack from being perfectly symmetrical, so the tiers look cut by hand. Forest green lines on pale sage point it toward landscape and architecture work, or any story about layers and depth.
Make it yours
Remove the sway for symmetry
Take Curvature from 38 to 0 and every diamond lines up on the same vertical axis, giving a strict inverted pyramid. Go the other way, toward 90, and the tiers snake from side to side as they descend.
Keep the lowest tier wide
Open space, 16 in this preset, sets the size of the smallest diamond. At 45 the bottom tier stays more than half as wide as the top one, so the form reads as a shallow basin instead of a deep funnel. Fewer tiers help too: try an Element count of 10.
FAQ
How does Diamond terraces differ from Prism steps?
Both belong to the spatial, isometric-looking systems, but Prism steps draws separate boxes with side walls that climb diagonally across the frame. Diamond terraces draws flat diamond outlines only, centered and nested, so it reads as one excavated or stacked form. Use Prism steps to suggest progress, and Diamond terraces for depth or layering.
