Kirby, Thanks for bringing the non-flat poly back in the scene. My poly that I referred to as the "black cat" (I left a model with you as I recall) I also...
... Rob I recognize that rhombi-cubo-octahedron. Here is another version discovered by Jim Lehman. http://www.blackcatphotoproducts.com/lehmanville.jpg Jims...
rybo, I'm going to clean up your links: <http://www.blackcatphotoproducts.com/lehmanville.jpg>http://www.blackcatphotoproducts.com/L4067lehmanville.JPG ...
... Hi Jim, I was going to send this one but then I thought it may have too many lines and might be more confusing to the first time observer. If i get any...
But think about this Alan. If the 24-cell has 24 spheres kissing a central sphere then we should be able to tranpose the Rhombic- Dodecahedra for the...
rybo, This seems confusing to me. How can you have 12 rods extending from an icosa center thru each vertex and have the rods parallel to each other? I must be...
I am looking closer at a polyhedron consisting of sliced rhombic dodecahedra that I have called a rd concave socket with rd core. There are 18 faces...
... Jim, I notice that also. Maybe just an error between his mind and typing. I dunno. first I would say what my general understanding of what an icosray ...
Jim, I see here hes has the same explnation and it doesent make any sense to me thsi time either. Maybe he was just "pulling the wool" over our heads. I...
I would mention that in 4D/4space(?) that teh regular polychoron calle the 24-cell is 24 spheres tangent to( kissing a 25th nuclear sphere ). Since Euclidean...
... Alan, Zonohedrons are 4-fold ergo not aligned with Ico's 5-fold diameters. David throws us off track with the statement of and additional 12 parrallel...
rybo, What would you think of using sketchup to do a basic drawing of an icosa with rays, then extend those rays as needed to connect a cube or octa? This...
... Well Jim, based on my last attempts with Skp. wherein I got lazy and lost motivation for bonding the faces of two icos together.....:( One at their web...
Examples of 5-fold zonohedrons include the great rhombicosidodecahedron and the rhombic enneacontahedron and the rhombic icosahedron and the rhombic...
rybo, I understand your concern here. My thought is this: It is still conjecture that the rays formed from the icosa do indeed connect to the vertices of...
... Jim, it appears you think that the center to vertex radials of a 5- fold Ico. in some way may be in alignement with the vertexes of one or another 4-fold...
Michael Allyn Roy <http://MichaelAllynRoy.com/> has dedicated a geometric symbol for each life that ended due to the events of September 11th. This includes...
... Ok Alan, then I stand corrected, but Wolfram does not say explicitly that these are 5-fold's. I don't see that 4-fold or 5-fold info is given on many of...
rybo, I'm responding to David's comments as follows: "Start with the icosahedron. Then you get all the symmetries by extrusion along the center-to-vertex rays...
rybo, I made a quick check and don't see any significant connections to the icosa rays and the VE. The icosa is attached to the VE in the same position as an...
... That makes sense because 5-fold and 4-fold. The vetexes ergo the radial rays of each are not congruent with each other( i.e. slighty askew? ). ... I think...
