Construction details, depicting how the 3D SketchUp model was produced, are included • Dodecahedron sphere was produced first, then the resultant module was "unfolded," to create the paper pattern • Click on the purple model logo, to read the Geodesic Help Group forum discussion

However, I found this link on warehouse profile. Is this same link which one should visit to learn about these complex structures?
