File talk:Toroidal excavated truncated Icosidodecahedron.gif

@Tomruen: What are the elements between hull and core? You description in truncated icosidodecahedron mentions only the pentagonal rotunda. I suppose that the small ones are square pyramids. But what are the blue ones? (By analogy I assumed a "triangular rotunda", but there is not such thing.) A still image of the skeleton would be nice, BTW. --Watchduck (quack) 11:05, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Orthogonal symmetry view

As best I can tell, no further dissection/excavation with regular faced solids is helpful. Tomruen (talk) 13:12, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

@Tomruen: Ah, ok. I assumed that the torus is an augmentation of polyhedral cells. (See Stewart toroids.) Now I understand that it is really just a surface made of polygons. The coloring you chose really invites the idea, that there are 20 blue polyhedral cells. Could you add a perspecive view of the skeleton with a solid core? That might be not as overwhelming. Ideally the perspective would be like this image, with the core faces also in violet. Thank you. --Watchduck (quack) 18:24, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

I can email you an OFF file if you'd like to try a different presentation. It was made by Stella software as an excavation. Tomruen (talk) 05:19, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
