Re: How to draw 3D objects with 7 sides?

Here's what I think is an elegant solution: A seven sided pyramid.
The base is a septagon which acts as a base, the rest of the object
consists of seven triangles. Each of the seven faces is inclined at
the same angle, so each would seem equally important.

be and I was wondering if I had jumped the track or something! I
guess I am looking for a 7 sided geodesic sphere? Some questions that
come to mind are; what is it properly called, are they at all useful,
where do they hide because I cannot recall ever seeing one....
