Hi all, I'm new to this group adn I'd to ask something about the mobius strip. If one were to cut along its equator is it true that it results in two twists...
Hi Michelle, Any time that you have an odd number of half twists the form has only one edge. If you cut any of these shapes down the middle, you add an extra...
Thanks very much. Now I'm not so confused because there are 2 full twists, and 4 half twists. When i read on the net these two different numbers, I was...

Hi, I looked at some pictures of it. It seems that each face of the icosahedron that is the underlying framework of this dome is divided into 192 equilateral...
... icosahedron that is the underlying framework of this dome is divided into 192 equilateral triangles. These each have a triangular pyramid placed on it. I...
Hi, What's Traicon and Alternate? I'm not familiar with your notation. I would like to play with your Tesselsphere program. As the icosahedron and dodecahedron...
Hi John I have uploaded a picture called 'frequency_16.gif' to the files area of this group which shows Alternate subdivision (class I). This screenshot was...
... Thanks for your interest Allen. The TesselSphere web site is in progress so keep an eye out for new developments. Right now I'm working on the geodesic...

B.t.w., Walt Venable just told me he's working on a book of dome structures you can build in Zome. We'll try to get some images (maybe even step-by-step ...
I found a way to make Class II (triacon) subdivsion using Class I (alternate). The method uses the Icosahedral net. The lowest Frequnecy for Class II is V=2....
This is fun. In general you can pick any two grid points on isogonal grid paper to be the endpoints of an edge of a triangle for icosahedra, tetrahedra, or...
Hi John, That's very interesting. I will study the arrangement and see if I can figure it out. The manner in which an isogonal grid links platonic solids...
... I just joined this group. I've been building small models of geodesic domes for many years but have to admit that much of the math is still over my head....
