Geodome 4V Icosahedron in Fusion 360 - Geometric solution (no math)

My way of creating a Geodome in this case the 4V Icosahedron.
I'm using only one dimension and then geometry and Fusion 360 to create the body.
Not the easiest workflow but I hope it's helpful for some of you :)

I learned more about how to better use constraints with this video than in weeks dicking around with 3d print designs. many thanks!

Perfect method, thank you very much Kristian. I used your method with Solidworks which is very similar to Fusion360.

Very nice and clean made. Easy steps, to follow. For me was very interesting to see the way you use loft, I never thoughts to make a triangle using the loft option

[ScottMoyse]

This is an amazing video. Very well done. Thanks.

[bartgeraets]

Very, very nice. I do not totally understand the backgroud of projecting the base pentagon (first sketch) to the shell of the sphere (second sketch). i.e. why is the first straight construction line constraint to the middle of the pentagon and the outer circle and how is does this construction defines the right position? for me it is magic. Could you explain more?

Is it posable to connect these domes/spheres in a pill shape? How do the triangles distort?

[SolidBuildersInc]

Kudos to you.
Question:
After creating, do you have a way of printing to a csv file the X, Y, Z coordinates of each point?
Also, can you consider doing a truncated polyhedron with
12 Pentagons and 20 Hexagons?

[Oggies]

You did that a bit too easy, obviously that can't be right;), I had been mucking about for ages with that. I could reverse engineer other models but couldn't start from scratch, now it's basically parametric, except as you mentioned some of the lofts break, but that's an easy fix. Excellent content as always, thanks for sharing.

This was a great video! Thank you! may I please ask for a request? I would like to know if you can make a 6v dome video?

Hi Kristian, thank you so much for the Geodome V2, 3 and 4 Tutorials. I am new on Fusion 360 and it helps me a lot! My goal ist to build a Geodome made with wood and connection named GoodKarma. Can you make a tutorial about construct this triangels (maybe with screws)?

[funrc]

Very nice method. Thank you. 👍
Agreed, at times I'm dumbfounded with/by the "order of operations" (if that's a possible descriptive syntax to use? lol) occasional mysterious results with Fusion 360. 😃

Hi, I'm very happy with your video, they helped me a lot, thank you very much :) I made 2V and 4V geodomes with Inventor and everything went well and I'm very happy and a big thank you :) But I have a request, maybe you can make another geodome 3V and 5V, I would be very happy and grateful to you, and I think not only me :)
P.S You are very witty and a good teacher :)

The helper line you create at 4:50 and beyond: shouldn't that line go exactly through the middle of the arc created by the two points on the sphere?

[manojkumar]

how do you replace the lines with hollow pipes in this design?

[ashleyr.]

Could you show a video on how to make other larger frequency Domes aswell. Or at least how to use these guilds to make larger frequency geodomes?

[mclarenmig]

great video ! im just curius how to extrude this, like for 3d prinding a scale?

[shivanikadupatil]

Thank you so much! It help me in my dissertation work..
I have a request.. Can you draw sunflower dome or kiewitt dome??

[CQEflash]

Nice construction method, shame edge lengths are not equal
