Re: Sharpohedron

Hi I created my own web-page about Crossohedra. Then I have all the freedom, e.g. use "Crossohedra" instead of Sharpohedron. The page is here: https://tunnissen.eu/polyh/crossohedra/list.html And it is far from complete and needs a lot of work still. To this page I added a few Crossohedra with prism...

Re: Sharpohedron

In some cases where the crosses are on the 2-fold axes it could be a good idea to extend the crosses to obtain regular faces. E.g. https://tunnissen.eu/polyh/local_off.html?off_file=etc/off/crosso/elongated_crosso-S4A4-o2.off&distance=25 https://tunnissen.eu/polyh/local_off.html?off_file=etc/off/cro...

Up to now the best one imho was this:
https://tunnissen.eu/polyh/local_off.ht ... istance=15
Yes, that one I like too. I built a model of the first one, but that one is going to be the next one. The snub, I didn't like so much, though.

Re: Crossohedra

I found some more variations on this theme. So are super simple and some can be found in Brückner, some are quite neat, though they are probably rediscoveries, but that doesn't spoil the fun. The following models were found by Don Romano, Ulrich Mikloweit and me (last updated 2021-03-17) Tetrahedra...

Re: Sharpohedron

Good found, thanks Ulrich, also from my friend Don! I was quite convinced this would be a rediscovery, since it was such a simple model. Apparently it was known at least in 1568. I think I will build a model of it in the Swiss colours. And I might look into more of these "positive" models. Cheers! M...

Re: Crossohedra

Yes, that is another way of looking at it! It seems that in his book from 1900 Brückner did come a"cross" some polyhedra with the cross (as pointed out by my friend). See for instance on the right side of plate 8: row 1, #2 and row 3, #2. The former can easily be transformed by moving the crosses to...
