Dome

Has any one modeled a geodesic dome in AC? It's turning out to be much more challenging than I first thought it would be.

Robert Bisset ( http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=88 ) specializes in domes. Not exactly geodesic domes, but you can check out his work at: http://www.buildart.com/DomeDesigns.htm

hi fmr,

thanks for the link!
an old but nontheless very nice object. maybe it will be useful to add hotspots in middle of the balls. I think it will be no problem to insert this, if it is needed; the main calculations are done.

best regards, gerd
