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...- Byron C

Solidworks Modeling Help: Geodesic Dome Pentagons, Hexagons, Struts
I am new to modeling and am trying to draw a geodesic dome consiting of pentagons with 30degree stuts at each point forming a hexagon. The final strut joining the 2 pentagons is not lining up and is too short. Everything is equal and symetrical. What is going on? Should they line up?- Byron C
