Hi Adrian, What is the calculation for the height of a snub antiprism? I suppose it depends on the value of -s n. The polygons of the snub antiprisms could be...

Hi Roger ... Yes, n depends on the ring radius, and this with the polygon determines the height. I have included the code I use below. It shows how the height...

Adrian Hi. The concept of having a "nearness rating" that is dependent on the number of edges has come up previously on the poly list, although I must say that...

Hi Jim ... I had in mind that the relationship would go the other way, and that having more faces/edges would lower the value of the rating. In which case the...
