... I see that he takes the circumferential polygon and turns them into complex polygons --as he so states-- and thanks for origami nolid links. ... Yours are...
Hi All I have been trying to make my kaleidocycle program more general and work using a pair of edges of any polyhedron as hinges. The maths has proved a bit...
I am impressed, and did't know that one could hinge tetrahedrons together like that and refold them into a spirals, but then again I knew that tetrahedrons...

Hi Craig ... It is possible to form a (possibly degenerate) helix from any polyhedron having two congruent polygons as faces (call them A and B). You just...
... Linking up with the isometries discussion... Take three non-collinear vertices of face A call them A1, A2 and A3, the corresponding vertices of B are B1,...
Hi Adrian & all: I've been enjoying your posts on polytopia for a while now; great info and imagery; much appreciated! (I also shared one of Adrian's recent...
Hi Alan ... "More than one geometry text has claimed that tiling 43433 has a right- and left- handed version." In The Geometrical Foundation of Natural...
yes Allan they make great seamless textures It was fun to make and more are planned I've been searching for a group like this Thanks for your comment Craig...
... The reason it is not enantiomorphic is because the square tiling is regular and self-dual. Shrink the square tiles a little and let their vertices ...
Hi Bruce ... Do you have a link to the bulletin? I would be interested to read it. ... If you can't find one maybe you could find a model in another format and...
