I tried that first. The latest version does not work I am currently the stupidest man in the room. That we can see. I do not know what you are talking about....
... Hi Adrian: I did that and these commands run fine. off_align -v ico,1,19,2,5,0,2 gr_st_dod | poly_kscope -s I | off_color -f 0,1,0,0.3 > icos.off off_trans...
Hi dharmraj ... Thanks for the feedback. It is nice to know that it was clear enough to work through! I want to include a lot more of this sort of material on...
Hi dharmraj ... This is due to changes in the options in the development code. The best solution is to download and install the latest snapshot. Besides having...
... Hi Adrian: I ran the first command above in version 19.2 and 20.pre13 and received error messages. I pasted from the Dos window below. Any idea what is...
... Hi Adrian: I worked my way down through the Icosahedron playing card model on the above page that you wrote. That is sure a good way to learn how to use...
... Here is the calculation, for reference. The unit is made of 5 spikes attached to the triangulare faces of a pentagonal pyramid. The distance between...
Hi Roger ... I have had another look and zoomed in on the model and rotated but I can't see any sparkles in antiview if the edge display is off. Maybe the...
Hi Adrian, ... It takes down the symmetry and appears to line up. It could be done that way. uc10 didn't have any 3 way symmetry to work with and had to be...
... Hi Adrian: I really like these. You have pictured perfectly the model we are discussing. The first link could make a nice physical tower. What I am...
Hi Roger ... Not very many. I had eight in the model, and ten would exceed 99% (script below). 1 -> height=0.850651 / 2.22703 (38.1966%) 2 -> height= 1.37638 /...
Hi Roger ... (The full symmetry of the second one is D36h, but the symmetry axes are printed in alphanumeric order, so the D2h value is printed first.) ... ...
Hi Adrian, ... I see 36 axes at 5 degrees. The 18 extra axes point out of the 'cog tips', where as at non-mod 5 degrees there is no symmetry a these places and...
Hi Roger ... I get D18h and D36h for these two. Do you see the D36h elements in antiview? off_trans -y D2h uc20_n3k6a5 -R 0,-55,0 | planar -d tile | antiview...
Hi Adrian, ... For uc20, to turn on its side is not a very interesting animation (it might be for the antiprisms), so I turned it -55 degrees. Here we notice a...
Hi Adrian, ... Interesting! It seems visually to terminate sooner than that. Maybe a frame of the full point around the stack would show it filling the volume?...
Hi dharmraj ... Here is another model from Holden's Shapes, Space and Symmetry polygon pyr 3 -e 1 -E 1.61803398874989484820 |off_align -F -,1 -y full pyr5 |...
Hi dharmraj ... I follow what you say about my model being the reverse now! The following commands are an example for making this sort of arrangenment in...
Hi Roger ... I have used valgrind occasionally in the past. I think we spoke before about stack memory checkers, that would detect a write past the end of an...
Hi Adrian, At one time we were asking of a tool that checked for memory leaks. I came across this one called 'valgrind' which appears to be a package which can...
Hi Adrian, I am now working on the last few uniform compound animations, uc20 uc22 and uc24. I seem to have found a crash in symmetry. It is a fairly hard...
I posted this in the google group: http://groups.google.com/group/r-buckminster-fuller-synergetic-geometry Which you are all welcome to join (I know, another...
