My thought is that flying would be on all the time, just as zoom is now. It goes together with panning, as it's the same action but on a different axis. Rotate-around-camera would alternate with rotate-around-center (and with rotate-around-selected-element, if you add that).
My first reaction to ...

Re: Transparent backgrounds in exported images
Thanks! Is there a publicly-accessible list of features that you are adding or have added? After this amount of time I imagine that there are quite a few.

Better Navigation
Implement Fly mode (possibly in place of zooming, which would become redundant). That is, Right-mouse drag results in unlimited linear motion forward and backward, and panning speed is not affected by one's position. Many non-convex polyhedra — especially toroids, Leonardo-like models, and non-fully ...

Transparent backgrounds in exported images
(Now that there's the wonderful prospect of a new version soon!)
It would be very helpful to be able to export images with a transparent background. When anti-aliasing is used (which apparently is all the time, as I cannot find a way to turn it off), removing the background later is rather ...

Re: Edge-Transitive Polyhedra
Thanks for your interest in these polyhedra. For more on them, check out https://isotoxals.github.io and the pages linked from https://polytope.miraheze.org/wiki/Isotoxal_polytope. The latter have images with good density shading made using Great Stella. Click on the images to enlarge them.

Re: Edge-Transitive Polyhedra
The original zip archives have been quite popular, but the files in the new one are so much of an improvement that I have deleted the old ones. So they no longer show as attachments above, which may make the earlier posts a bit confusing. I would love to copy and rename the new one and have it ...

Re: Edge-Transitive Polyhedra
Recently I got a chance to revisit the OFF files that I posted here a while ago, in particular the Leonardo-style ones.
I tried to address the issues that Great Stella had with them. One of these had to do with having more than two faces at an edge. I normally would agree that this is not valid ...

Re: Edge-Transitive Polyhedra
It looks great, Ulrich! I was hoping that you'd make some of these. I like that you made separate pieces for the higher-density regions of the faces. It's a shame that you are stopped by the large number of central facelets that the I52 and I32 polyhedra require. Perhaps 3-D printing is the only way ...

Thanks, Ulrich! Please send my regards to Don Romano.

Edge-Transitive Polyhedra
One can find a lot of things written about face- and vertex-transitive polyhedra, especially regular-faced ones. There is not much on edge-transitive (isotoxal) ones, and all of it is incomplete. Frequently one encounters the assertion that any edge-transitive polyhedron must also be face- or vertex ...

Re: Coincident edges
Yes, I've been clicking through and it started to get old. I would modify the models to avoid the message but I can't figure out what's triggering it. I've checked carefully and each edge that exists appears exactly twice in the definitions of the faces. Thanks for ruling out one possibility.

Coincident edges
Does Great Stella coalesce vertices and edges that coincide? I have some OFF models for which it says there are more than two faces meeting at some edges. That's not true in these models' abstract structure.
