Where is the menu option to make a simple triangle? I see all the other shapes (My favorite is a torus) but where is the triangle?
There isn't one.
Various ways of obtaining a (2 sided) triangle.
eg
Body mode
R click on cylinder prim
Enter 3 in sections >ok.
Select triangular end face
Face > Extract > normal (say)
Or just select any triangular face that already exists on a model and > Extract.

so I guess that means there is no way to make a pyramid as easily as a cube or torus.
Hi dratikus,
For a 3 sided pyramid, add a "Tetrahedron"
For a 4 sided pyramid...
Create a Cube > Select Top Face > Switch to edge mode (4 top edges selected) > RMB > Collapse. Move top point up or down as desired.
oort
For a pyramid with base of N sides.
Object > Cylinder (either R clk on cylinder listing or L/R clk in small box at right of line) > enter N in sections field
Select top face > collapse (no need to change to E mode)
