Hi. I have problem on solidworks 2012 when trying to create icosahedron (6V from 1V) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron
Please help me with this model.
I do not know how to align all structural members properly.
I do not know how to place all strusture "on the ground"
I do not know how to create hubs wich need to connect all that beams (struts).
See atachment below. (was packed & go)
Please provide me link where I could learn about this stuff or maybe if someone know how to do this, edit that assembly and attach in your post.
have a good day and looking forward for the answers.
The model looks good - good work so far. I'm not too clear on what you are asking, though - sorry.
1. Align structural members? You mean the ones currently there - the square bars - how do you want to align them? To what?
2. Place all structures on the ground. Please explain which structures - I assume only one face of the Icos will be 'on the ground'.
3. What kind of hubs do you want to create - you mean like a wagon wheel which conect the square bars where they intersect?
If you could mark-up a screenshot or two - that may help.
Thanks,
John
