DODECAHEDRON POLYGON SOLID OR WITH A WALL THICKNESS

Hello.  Can someone walk me through the steps, geometry, sketches and commands to create a Dodecahedron that is about the size of a a golf ball or peewee baseball?

Thanks

    Hi Rod,  see this thread.

    and if you search forum for dodecalhedron, other threads come up.  This one just seemed best with my quick search.

    Hi Rod,

    Bruce definitely suggested as good thread with a solution. There are a lot of different ways to model these kinds of geometries and its always a fun challenge to do it a different way.

    Here's the way I did it.

    I patterned a couple sketches to build up a wireframe, and enclosed the sketches to make one solid part. Then, it was just a matter of using shell to hollow the part out.

    Hope it helps!
