  • Please do not get me wrong, but the overdraw style seems to be remarkably similar to what one can find in tex.stackexchange.com/a/20874/121799. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give credit to tex.stackexchange.com/a/20874/121799 for this?

  • @subhamsoni If the line SC cut CIR at C,C', then the line SC line on the plane of the circle, and then, there is not the pyramid.

Using the intersections library, the code would look like this (I have highlighted in red the required line):

usepackage{tikz}
usepackage{tikz-3dplot}

}

coordinate (C) at (7,0,0);
coordinate (B) at ({65/14},{15*sqrt(3)/14},0);
coordinate (I) at (7/2,{-7*sqrt(3)/6},0) ;

draw[very thick,name path=SC] (S) -- (C);
