Basically, I want to know the actual slope of the side, the slope of the steps, the slope of the stairs, typical size of each level, so on and so forth, or, failing that, the dimensions of any one in paticular.

Additional Details:
I know a bit about the elements of construction of the pyramids, what I am looking is for the details. How many square hunabs is each step of the step pyramid? How many hunabs wide is the staircase? What is the slope of the Staircase? What is the depth of the treads? What is the rise of the treads? What is the slope of the sides of the step pyramids? What is the overall slope, if any, of the pyramid sides. All this in Imperial or Metric denominations, or with something that can let me convert them.
I want either the answer or a place I can find one. If I lived in reasonable reach of one of these places I'd just go get a tape measure and a theodalite and get the answer for it all, but I don't have access to one of these places or access to any data from someone who analyzed these structures to any decent degree.

There are quite a few Aztec-Mayan pyramids. The largest in volume is the Great Pyramid of Cholula. The dimensions are 450 by 450 m (1476x1476 ft) and a height of 66 m (217 ft). If you are building a model, please note that it isn't a "simple" pyramid as the photos in the links below show. Also, in 1594, the Spanish built a church, Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, on top of it.
You may also consider the Temple of Kukulkán located Chichén Itzá in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. This pyramid is 24m (79ft) to the top platform. The temple on top adds another 6 meters (+ 20ft). The angle of the stepped sides are 53.3 degrees and the side of each base is about 150 ft.

They were all different, except that they tended to be step pyramids with a temple on top.
The now-destroyed Templo Mayer of Tenochtitlan was 197 feet tall with twin temples on top (to Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc). I have not been able to find the slope or the size of the base.

This planet is a planet of ignorance and suffering. We all come here in a physical body solely for spiritual progress. We come here several times, until we learn and become less selfish and more enlightened, and then we will be ready for other planets and dimensions. Peace!
