Truncating the Rhombic Dodecahedron

This is the rhombic dodecahedron, one of the Catalan solids.

Now here’s the same polyhedron, but with the three-valent vertices truncated, exposing eight triangular faces.

Here’s what it looks like with only the six four-valent vertices truncated.

Finally, here’s the fully truncated rhombic dodecahedron.

I created these polyhedra using Stella 4d, a program you can try for free right here.

A Non-Convex Polyhedron With Sixty Kites As Faces

I made this using Stella 4d, which you can find at this website.

A Cube, Decorated with Icosagons and Their Diagonals

This icosagon, with its diagonals showing, first appeared here. I then used Stella 4d to make the cube. You can try Stella for yourself at this website.

A Polyhedron With 150 Faces

The 150 faces of this polyhedron include 30 convex octagons, as well as two sets of sixty elongated pentagons each. I made it using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at this website.

The Hybrid Offspring of the Tetrahedron and the Great Dodecahedron

I made this using Stella 4d, which you can try for yourself at this website.

A Compound of a Tetrahedron and a Concave, Pyritohedral Dodecahedron

I made this using Stella 4d, which you can try for free at this website.

A Compound of Four Triangular Prisms

I made this compound using Stella 4d, which you may try for free at this website.

Three Polyhedra Which Each Include 42 Regular Decagonal Faces

The first polyhedron shown here is also a symmetrohedron. 42 of its faces are regular decagons, and twenty are equilateral triangles. There are also sixty each of two types of isosceles trapezoids. That’s 182 faces in all.

The second polyhedron shown, below, also has 42 regular decagons as faces, along with twenty equiangular hexagons, sixty isosceles triangles, sixty almost-square isosceles trapezoids, and 120 of another kind of isosceles trapezoid. That’s a total of 302 faces.

The third one I found, shown below, has 42 decagons, sixty convex hexagons, twenty equilateral triangles, sixty rectangles, and sixty isosceles trapezoids, for a total of 242 faces.

I made all three of these polyhedra using Stella 4d: Polyhedron Navigator, which you can try for yourself, free, at http://www.software3d.com/Stella.php.

A Regular Icosagon, With All Sides and Diagonals Shown

An icosagon is a twenty-sided polygon. Each segment-length was given its own color.
