Good question! Some of my favourites: The Great Icosidodecahedron, which I remembering seeing as an orthographic line drawing in an old book and I remember thinking I'd love to make one but didn't know how. I also remember at the time thinking it was very complex, whereas now it's quite simple compa...

To create the reflection:



To make compound with reflection:



For example, compound of snub cube with its reflection:

Not sure what you mean by "enlarges any errors, just like an optical zoom". All it does is limit how many faces can go into a net. Beyond that the nets should print as usual. It's brute force because you don't get to choose which faces go into the nets. In a case like yours, it will put faces togeth...

Cool. That's kind of the brute force method. The other ways may be more useful in the general case.

There are several ways: Nets->Maximum Faces Per Net - In your example, set this to 5 and it will probably do what you want. Colour one or all sections as you want it (which I see you already have) and then select Nets->Nets/Paper Color Mixing->One Color Per Net/Page . If only one section is coloured...

As you may have found, if you use augmentation, there isn't a way to make the new faces coplanar with existing ones. However there's an easy way to create this model, using stellation. Make sure you have a stellation view open: https://i.postimg.cc/kgzCS0WH/image.png Also select the option to show t...

So the dual property, the property we'd find in the faceting, would be a vertex where two or more faces meet that lie in the same plane.

I guess it would be possible, but no there's no automated way to skip those at the moment.

Stellations in Stella are found via combinations of stellation cells, and consist of only externally accessible faces (no hidden parts of faces). So it's not aware about how or whether facelets in the same plane can be combined into larger faces. So it's not good for finding isohedra. There are some...

I can replicate the issue. The spring relaxation system is used to generate these, so I'm not surprised there are limits on it. I would need to calculate the coordinates explicitly instead. Some day I'll look into it. For now I have a lot to do to get Stella back into a releasable state, but I'll ge...

Although I added features to Stella to make them easy to find, I unfortunately never got around to publishing my results. But polyart on this forum is getting a paper published about them soon. I'll direct him to this thread, in case he hasn't seen it already. They can be found as facetings of isogo...

If you have Great Stella or Stella4D, then they can be found in the library, in the Bruckner folder: https://i.postimg.cc/9fmD1HN2/image.png And since Stella shows you the dual as well, and nobles are all duals of other nobles, you get two at once: https://i.postimg.cc/MG1SF9XY/image.png You'll even...

There isn't really a page of default options anywhere, but you may be able to restore some of it by saving a default file. Use "File->Save Default Scene". Whatever scene you save there will automatically be reloaded when you restart the program, along with whatever settings were saved with that scen...

Hi John, Yep that can be done. From the menu, enable "Display->Show Vertex Angles" Select a vertex (Either Shift+Left-click, or double-click on a vertex) It will show angles related to that vertex, like below. https://i.postimg.cc/4xpGMx5Q/image.png Measurement Mode could be used to measure angles m...

I put together a little puzzle, to count intersecting cubes. You can test your answers and I just added hints in the form of colours. https://www.software3d.com/PuzzleHowManyCubes.php http://localhost/StellaWebSite/Puzzle/HowManyCubesSmall.png Let me know how you go! But please don't post the answer...

Sorry there's no way to batch export. But hopefully the .OFF format contains what you need.
