GET PRIMITIVE

Icosahedron

 

The Get->Primitive commands are available in all modules except Tools. They let you define primitive objects which are basic objects with a fixed geometric structure.

For detailed descriptions of polygon mesh objects, curves, and surfaces, as well as the modelling tasks you can perform with them, see the Modelling User's Guide.

The Get->Icosahedron command creates an icosahedron polygons, which is a closed 3D polygon mesh object with 20 sides and has triangular polygons.

  1. Choose the Get->Icosahedron command.

    The Create Icosahedron dialogue box is displayed.
  2. Set the Radius which defines the size of the icosahedron in SOFTIMAGE units. The range is [0, ]. This is most easily seen in the Top window.
