Fuller/geodesic dome
-
Hi guys...i was wondering is there any plugin to create a fuller dome from line work geometry....
for eg from this image...
[xxl-img:29rjpuot]http://www.geodomehome.com/images/artworks dome 1.jpg[/xxl-img:29rjpuot]
hence will be helpful to create any lattice girder or anything.
the nodes may show a spherical joint among the strut members.
I tried windowisor ruby....it gives sufficient results, but not satisfactory...like the joints dont get a spherical joints

Shomit,
In the Geodesic collection, to which Pilou linked, there are both detailed and basic-wireframe models. Here's a revised link, which displays 50 models at a time:
The Class-I "catalog" model will likely be of interest to you, as it provides frequencies from 1-to-9. Here's a link to the basic geometry models:

You can use these models, as the basic geometric "skeletons," upon which you can build your own, more-complex models. (That's what I do, myself.)
If you have any geodesic questions, you can visit the "Geodesic Help Google Group," to review past discussions, or to ask specific questions that haven't already been addressed:

(Thanks, Pilou, you're always quick with a response!)
