How can you turn pyramid to a octahedron?

If the pyramid has a triangular sides then truncate each vertex (cut off a small pyramid shape from the vertices).If the pyramid has a quadrilateral base then truncate 3 vertices.If the pyramid has a pentagonal base then truncate 2 vertices.If the pyramid has a hexagonal base then truncate 1 vertex.If the pyramid has a heptagonal base then it is already an octahedron.If the pyramid has an base with 8 or more vertices then slice off the section formed by joining the apex and two vertices from the base which are six apart. This makes the base heptagonal and therefore the shape is an octahedron.
