Honeycomb geodesic dome calculator

[Hesham Elfeshawy]

Hi Folks ;

Does anyone guide me with information if honeycomb geodesic dome have a calculator that provide the cells measurements 

is it existed ?

Hi Hesham

You can measure the length of struts in Antiprism, and also colour by
length, which is usefulf for identifying which struts have a particular
length.

Example with a simpler honeycomb model (dual of F2 icosahedral
geodesic sphere), with struts coloured by length

dome_layer -r 0.8 -t honeycomb geo_2_d | off_color -e J | antiview -x f -v 0.02

Report all the lengths

ome_layer -r 0.8 -t honeycomb geo_2_d | off_report -C E

[edge_lengths_cnts]
0.15083408550885624 = 60 (range +/- 1.5265566588595902e-16)
0.15137921127038706 = 120 (range +/- 1.6653345369377348e-16)
0.17056715997639027 = 60 (range +/- 1.2490009027033011e-16)
0.17228298408859521 = 120 (range +/- 1.5265566588595902e-16)
0.2488053194304248 = 120 (range +/- 3.0531133177191805e-16)
0.27846404907433076 = 120 (range +/- 3.6082248300317588e-16)
0.27860523019500172 = 240 (range +/- 3.6082248300317588e-16)
0.31337059421226288 = 60 (range +/- 7.2164496600635175e-16)
0.38947748133844612 = 60 (range +/- 7.2164496600635175e-16)

The edge length colours are assigned from a colour map in the same order,
the first length is index 0, the second is index 1, etc, so to see all
the struts of length 0.2488053194304248, which has colour index 4,
colour them red and all other struts white with a command like

dome_layer -r 0.8 -t honeycomb geo_2_d | off_color -e J -m map_4=red | antiview -x f -v 0.01 -E white

Adrian 

thank you for value information 

i succeeded in install antiprism and running commands 

its fantastic and i will learning to understand it more 

i thank you once more for guide to do this experiment
