constant Cross Ratio of pyramidoid edge projections EDIT1: Can we define a (non-trivial) rigid pyramidoid in 3 space where every projection of a set of four edges $ (OA,OB,OC,OD)$ meeting at a vertex $O$ have the sam...
Let the edges be the lines $OA$, $OB$, $OC$, $OD$. We may assume that $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ are in the plane we project onto. If $O'$ is the projection of $O$ on their plane, then the cross-ratio of the projections is $O'A$, $O'B$, $O'C$, $O'D$. So in plane our problem is the following: _are there four...
