Spherical Object

This tool generates the set of Platonic solids (tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron), soccer balls, geodesic spheres, and revolved spheres. These are all facetted objects and are generated using exactly the same drawing methods as the Sphere. The type of spherical object to be generated is selected from the Shape pop up menu. See the

As shown, the geodesic spheres can be of different densities, which is set through the Geodesic group of options in the tool options palette. The density can be specified by using either the # Of Subdivisions or the Edge Size method.
