Never having built a geodesic dome, I'm surprised to see how isosolese triangles make equidistance within a built volume absolutely possible. It's very cool! The six pattern is just like a water crystal. Happy returns. Peace. Hi,

I love them. This time I want to build a hexahedron v6. i intend to use a method based in a book I saw many years ago. of corse my method is different I just need the cord factors. also this is a method I used several decades ago using cardboard and duct tape. It is still standing keeping chickens dry.it was based on a v6 octahedron. I wousd like to have in finished in time to take to Burning man and the Rainbow gathering. Because it a design I have not tryed to this point I will need to build several models to get it right. I have build several domes. I love them.
