Is there a general method of creating compounds from its components?

We have several examples of the form 'compound of n polyhedrons , eg compound...

Zonohedrification can generalize into any dimension except 0D, add it in the next update.

Hello people from the Stella community,

Long story short, here is a graph of all convex polyhedra with regular faces.
I hope you will enjoy it.

Just finished a new paper model, the small snub icosicosidodecahedron:

New member with interest in making, via CNC, wooden models of the various shapes.

Would appreciate contact with other members with similar interests

Two of my models were accepted for display at the Bridges 2016 conference in Finland in August, as shown below with a picture of one of them being...

Would it be possible for Stella to explore plane tilings as well as polyhedra?

There seem to be two approaches to tiling:

Symmetries (e.g....

Hi Rob,

Apart from doing a screen/window capture is there any way of retrieving the information in the Great Stella info window? Appreciate that...

Where you can find models of polyhedra crystallography? (cubic, trigonal etc)
They are available in stella?
thanks for the reply
thx

Hi folks,

I have just created a facebook page for Stella, so if you're a facebook user, feel free to like it and help get it started.

Thanks!...

Back in 2003 there was a story about Great Stella on TV.
You can see a bunch of my paper polyhedra here too.
