Draw non-radial tri and quad faced spheres - how to create?
-
Thanks, Gilles.
I've sampled Taff's wonderful models several times over the years.

That particular truss will only produce a sphere if 20 copies are used, rotated around the correct axes, by the correct angles. I did exactly that, in less than a minute

Thanks to Taff, who likes to make you learn a bit...
Now to skin it... that is, to add a skin.

Maybe you would like to investigate this geodesic source: http://www.cadreanalytic.com/cadregeo.htm
Also, I assume the spheres and shapes in the Components folder that came with Sketchup are not exactly what you need?

Does the trick. And has been doing so since 2008.
You know how much time you could have saved me if you were paying more attention to my problems?
Perhaps I should pay better attention...
Thank you very much, Gilles.

Sure, but it's also a good thing to ( try to ) understand how things are made.

http://rhin.crai.archi.fr/rld/index.php is another gold mine to dig in. French and English, thanks to Didier Bur.

Mighty big Thanks to Taff for a "making me think" moment (just posted it on the duh thread
) This is all very helpful! -
Perfect only from a distance. I wish there were a draw non-radial tri- and quad- mesh plugin, with face size/number/density settings.

The left image in the first image is the typical SketchUp sphere construction (I call it 'radial'), the right image is what I'm looking for (I call it 'non-radial').

I got it for a while and have no problem at this time.Of course it may be not aesthetic code, but it does the job.
I know nothing about coding and I enjoy your plugins. -
I just installed this plugin but cant find it after installation

You should find Create geodesic in the plugin menu.

I've a tweaked version that avoids all base class messing on... If anyone wants a copy PM me...
