step 5 of 16
I. - select rectangular selection tool
II. - check, if select only visible is unchecked
III. - select these points
IV. - in coordinates bar simply add *1,08 behind X and Z sizes(we need to set the points to the circular shape)

step 6 of 16
I. - select all top points
II. - rotate these points to -22,5°
III. - simply add behind X and Z sizes *0,56

with rectangular selection tool select recent points, as descripted, and set them similar to this pic
step 8 of 16
before you select polys, check if select only visible is checked, then select polys from the top wiew window, and use melt(U~Z).
Next select "red"polys, use melt, next the "blue" polys and finally use melt. Here we have the whole diamond(brilliant).
