Introduction

Geodesic Domes was built as addon for Blender < 2.5 by Andy Houston, Meta Androcto. It can build a Tetrahedron, Octahedron and Icosahedron as well as some other standard objects, starting with a Grid, Torus, etc.

Next these objects can be adjusted by changing a lot of parameters, nice to see in action.

Last but not least Faces, Struts and Hubs remain implemented.

• Faces can modify the faces of 'given' objects in various ways.
• Struts changes an object using an 'imported' object.
• Hubs uses two objects to combine them into a strange other one.

In all cases a number of parameters can be used to modify the resulting object.

• And the possibility to import an object to modify it is still possible.

Most important change

PKHG does not know if a TAB-layout GUI is possible in Blender 2.6

• A Panel to start the GD-Operator
• The operator shows its possibilities in the TOOLSHELF.

Examples

• At the right side of the 3DView execute me! is visible, to start the operator
• In the Toolshelf the Icosahedrons is chosen with EdgeUp and dual clicked.

• superform parameter type u active and you see the action of clicking dual
• Remark: a mesh of one point in edit-mode used, to see the mesh good.
