Operations on regular polyhedra

The three operations modify regular polyhedra a following way:

Blunting (cutting corners) - denoted by t (truncation ),
Center-numbing - denoted by m (midpoint )
Twisting - denoted by s (snub)

Each of these operations can be applied to the other regular figures based on 2D and 3D networks. Below we show how these operations work:

Twisting

The squares revolve around 16.4675 ° and the triangles to -20.315 °.
24 levels have the triangles that arise after the rotation, forming a pentagonal icositetrahedron, which is built from the same pentagons.

The pentagons revolve around 13.1064 ° and the triangles to -19.518 °. Similar results can be obtained in a pentagonal hexecontahedron after the operation s , where the Rhombeniksidodekaeder is transformed into the sloping dodecahedron (dodecahedron simum) is converted.

A polyhedron with tetrahedral symmetry, which all sides are irregular pentagons, is known under the name: Tetartoid or tetrahedral pentagonal dodecahedron .
