Re: Need images of platonician polyhedra inside one another

Hello thank you for your answer and images, the positions are not exactly what I described, they are identical to those we can obtain with GreatStella. I have issues with exporting function Robert and I never been able to solve. I may find the positions satisfying enough for my purpose, and use scre...

Need images of platonician polyhedra inside one another

Hello to all, I need specific images of platonician polyhedra inside one another. I am ready to pay for the work so please get in touch if you are interested ! The best would be vector format images (AI, EPS, CDR etc). I basically need : - icosa inside dodeca, icosahedron vertices being centered to ...

Re: Put a polyhedron inside another

Bit confused by the common sphere thing. As the definition of regular polyhedra includes the rapport to the circumscribed sphere, I use this sphere in order to compare polyhedra. In my concept, despite the vertexes of an icosa pierce the faces of a dodeca (for polyhedra having circumbsribed spheres...

Re: Put a polyhedron inside another

At best you could only make a few coincide at once. Yes I am aware of that. But as the subject of the lecture relies on comparison of platonician solids relatively to the circumscribed COMMON sphere, I will need one way or another, to present these solids with aligned vertexes. I would prefer this ...

Re: Put a polyhedron inside another

Thank you so much for your precise explanation, Rob. I have 2 other questions : is there any way of moving a polyhedron relatively to the other ? Or for example, is there a way of making vertexes coincide ? The default combination makes centers of faces of one polyhedron coincide with vertexes of th...

Put a polyhedron inside another

Hello all, so far I used Great Stella in a intuitive way but now I need to get images of precise polyhedron(s) inside another/others, for a lecture I am giving in France. For example I need to make appear an icosahedron inside and "kissing" so to speak a dodecahedron , a cube inside an icosahedron e...
