Re: Dodecahedron Pyramids
Make it with sketch blocks.
Start with a 2D sketch. Sketch a single pentagon, then turn it into a block.
Then start a 3D sketch. Insert pentagon blocks and constrain them to the base 2D sketch. Repeat 10x (the last face makes itself).

Re: Dodecahedron Pyramids
Addendum: it seems that 3D sketches don't play nice with too many blocks. You likely will need multiple 3D sketches.

Re: Dodecahedron Pyramids
thanks for the suggestion, however It is essential that the dodecahedron is constructed from pyramids, as there are extruded 'tracks' running through each face.
SO my question should be how to correctly make this pyramid. Thanks

Re: Dodecahedron Pyramids
Maybe... just maybe... someone could use the sketches to make solids. You have to be willing to actually do this, though. Wishing isn't enough.

Re: Dodecahedron Pyramids
Here is a method of creating it in context of an assembly. I started by creating the part and sketching a hexagon. Then I added two more instances of that part and mated the hexagon sketches to each other to form part of the dodecahedron. Then I created a 3D sketch in the assembly joining centerlines protruding from two of the pentagons to find the center where they meet. Then I edited the first part in context of the assembly, started a 3D sketch, and placed a point at the center location. Then I lofted between the pentagon and the point. I've attached the assembly, and you can open the virtual part to see the single pyramid.

Re: Dodecahedron Pyramids
Exactly what I'm after, thanks. Although I just figured out the corect equation, I was doing something wrong originally changing my answer by .3.
Is it possible to offset an axis a distance defined by an equation? If not, I'll go this Route! Thanks again
