Pre-triangulate

Med

|
|
Description :
|
The geodesic division is only carried out on polyhedra whose faces are all
triangles. When a polyhedron has faces with more than three sides these
are first converted to triangles by attaching the edges of the face to
its centre. The following example is a 'one frequency'
rhombicosidodecahedron. The square and pentagonal faces have been
converted to triangles. This would
be the base model used for any higher frequency subdivisions.

Planar

|
Description :
|
The following example is a planar Class III 2,1 rhombicosidodecahedron. The
square and pentagonal faces are first converted to triangles by joining
a face's edges to its centre. The geodesic subdivision is applied to this
base model. In the planar models the subdivision is based on dividing the
original edges by equal length (as opposed to equal central angle in the
spherical models), and the models are not projected onto a sphere afterwards.

Spherical Tiling

Med
Lrg
|
|
Description :
|
The elements of an icosahedron are coloured. It is converted to a geodesic
sphere. The new edges and vertices are not displayed (coloured invisible), the
subdivided faces and edges, and the original vertices, keep their original
colours. The result is an approximation of a spherical tiling of the
original polyhedron.
