Archimedean Planters

Archimedean Solids are convex polyhedra with faces of regular polygons and vertex-transitive. There are 13 such objects (excluding prisms and antiprisms which are probably less exciting). In this study, I experimented with these solids and designed a family of planters. Since they are convex and look cool, I decided to try it. I call this algorithm Archimedean Planters. The first part of the definition deals with the generation of the chosen solid. A list will help the user to choose the solid. Then, the top and bottom planes are cut by a user-defined amount to make it stand still. So, you can design your Archimdean planter pot quickly. When you are happy with the result, just bake the object into Rhino and it is generated as a single closed polysurface, suitable for 3d printing.
