did you know these?

Slice (at 0.5) a 5-Hi (120-cell) with a hyperplane direction cell-1st. Do the same to a 6-Ex (600-cell), same depth but direction vertex-1st this time. Save the two slices (polyhedra) for comparing.
The 1st is the dual polyhedron of the latter and vice-versa. I've not gotten the exact same scale but ...

Cool, I didn't know there was such a thing. I believe it always works in 2D, that any non self-intersecting polygon can be divided into triangles just using the original vertices. I hadn't realised that the equivalent wasn't always possible in 3D.


Glad you liked it. I will try to post here ...

polychora from OFF vertex coordinates and cell description


Stella4D is a great program - One feature I would like to see added is the ability to generate a convex polychoron, by using only the vertices - sort of a convex hull feature.

non-tetrahedrizable polyhedron

Hi everybody,

Here are the coordinates for the celebrated *Schonhardt's non- tetrahedrizable polyhedron*. Please copy the following in *txt* format, save with the extension *off* and open it with Stella. It's dead simple.
Enjoy! 8)
