# length

The extent of the pyramid along its z-axis. Animatable.

## Declaration

```swift
var length: CGFloat { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The pyramid is centered in its local coordinate system, and the width and length of the pyramid are the dimensions of its rectangular base. For example, a pyramid of length 10.0 extends from -5.0 to 5.0 along the z-axis. The default length is 1.0. A length of zero or less creates an empty geometry. You can animate changes to this property’s value. See Animating SceneKit Content.
