Here are a few of the over 140 possible polyhedra which can be studied using !PolyDraw, coloured to emphasize different aspects of their shapes.
top left: compound of a cube and an octahedron, also the 1st stellation of
the cuboctahedron
top right: compound of 5 cubes, with each cube a different colour. This is a stellation of the rhombic triacontahedron
middle row left: compound of 5 octahedra
middle row right: compound of 5 tetrahedra
bottom left: compound of 10 tetrahedra
- these last three are stellations of the icosahedron
bottom right: the great dodecahedron, also known as the 2nd stellation of the dodecahedron, coloured to show the planes from which it is made.
