I am trying to make a pyramid shape that is stepping down as you go to the center. I can create a pyramid shape that goes up as you approach the center but not the other way around. Please help!

If what you want is an upside-down pyramid it is not possible as far as I know because the bit/truck could not get under the wider top tier to cut a smaller bottom tier. That said, just cut a normal pyramid as you created it and glue it upside to a board.

In the picture I posted the steps start low on the outside and progressively get higher as they approach the center. What I want are steps starting high on the outside progressively getting shorter as they approach the center.

Is this what you are looking for? Basic idea is do a subtractive merge with each smaller piece going deeper.

I can only get it to work if I start with the smallest one then get larger, each one with a - merge.
