How to Model an Icosahedron in Onshape

Teaching the masses the esoteric secrets of the Dungeon Masters... ...you shall pay for this!

Very good. I was testing this today, and it can be done with just 2 lofts and 2 circular patterns if you build it up right. I have a "nasty" habit of making something then reducing it as much as possible, heh..

Thanks a lot!

Hi Alex, thank you for this! Zooming in, the shape is not complete. "Gappy". Are you aware? Any solution?

For me the side of the original rectangle had to be exactly the golden ratio or the Boolean wouldn’t work. Other than that, great video!

I found a way to model an icosahedron without calculating the Golden Ratio. And you can control the side length with one sketch dimension. It involves two circles, a square, two right triangles and an isoceles triangle.
