    Solidworks Modeling Help: Geodesic Dome Pentagons, Hexagons, Struts

    I am drawing the pentagon (Yellow) on the front plane with sketched lines, the sketch is symmetrical about the Y axis and the top point of the pentagon is at the origin. I then draw a circle on the right plane at the top point of the pentagon (at the origin) and extrude the circle on a sweep to...
