The polyhedra are grouped in 5 tables: Regular (1–5), Semiregular (6–18), regular star polyhedra (20–22,41), Stellations and compounds (19–66), and uniform star polyhedra (67–119). The four regular star polyhedra are listed twice because they belong to both the uniform polyhedra and stellation groupings.
The exposed nets of the faces are then traced or printed on template material. A third way is using the software named Stella to print nets. A model, particularly a large one, may require another polyhedron as its inner structure or as a construction mold. A suitable inner structure prevents the model from collapsing from age or stress.
The March 1, 1943, edition of Life magazine included a photographic essay titled "Life Presents R. Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion World", illustrating a projection onto a cuboctahedron, including several examples of possible arrangements of the square and triangular pieces, and a pull-out section of one-sided magazine pages with the map faces printed on them, intended to be cut out and glued to ...
For example, the icosahedron is {3,5+} 1,0, and pentakis dodecahedron, {3,5+} 1,1 is seen as a regular dodecahedron with pentagonal faces divided into 5 triangles. The primary face of the subdivision is called a principal polyhedral triangle (PPT) or the breakdown structure. Calculating a single PPT allows the entire figure to be created.
5 - regular pentagon; 6 - regular hexagon; 8 - regular octagon; 10 - regular decagon; 5/2 - pentagram; 8/3 - octagram; 10/3 - decagram; Some faces will appear with reverse orientation which is written here as -3 - a triangle with reverse orientation (often written as 3/2) Others pass through the origin which we write as 6* - hexagon passing ...

The five-room puzzle is a classical, [1] popular puzzle involving a large rectangle divided into five "rooms". The objective of the puzzle is to cross each "wall" of the diagram with a continuous line only once.
If the shape is considered as a union of five cubes yielding a simple nonconvex solid without self-intersecting surfaces, then it has 360 faces (all triangles), 182 vertices (60 with degree 3, 30 with degree 4, 12 with degree 5, 60 with degree 8, and 20 with degree 12), and 540 edges, yielding an Euler characteristic of 182 − 540 + 360 = 2.
