I’m able to make a regular, circular dome but I wanted to extend it to the rest of the base. I want to create kind of a dome with this base’s shape.
Sketchup make a dome how to#
Your completed dome should look like this one: How to create an irregular shaped dome SketchUp advice PedroS October 17, 2019, 9:18pm 1 I started using SketchUp recently and this is the thing I can’t find a way to do. These are combined into a structure very simply: in the picture below, each blue face is a whole hexagon, each purple face is a half hexagon: The concept of this dome is very simple: it is made from 2 different types of frame: a hexagon and a half hexagon- you will need 10 hexagons and 5 half hexagons. This is yet another amazing piece of pioneering from Israel. More photos of the construction are here. If you look carefully you will see that this dome is made out of hexagons and pentagons - the pattern used for a soccer ball(if you're too sophisticated for soccer, try a truncated icosahedron).
The original post: I was wondering the other day how to make a pioneered geodesic dome when a link to this project arrived as a comment on my blog. Once you’ve created a dome, creating a sphere isn’t too hard Group your dome and make a copy of it. 53.9K subscribers In this intermediate sketchup tutorial we explain how to create various types of domes in sketchup. This drawing summarizes the corrections: If you want to know how to draw an ordinary dome in SketchUp, read this tutorial at SketchUcation. My idea about the hanging bottle holding the whole thing together was wrong (luckily I'm not an engineer!) It is suggested that you add an extra (open) frame around each pentagon. A dome is created but with a hole in the top. Then I select the outer edge of the first circle then select the follow me tool and click on the semi-circle.
Sketchup make a dome zip#
The tarps were manufactured with grommets that allowed us to join and secure them with zip ties. Firstly I create a circle on the ground plane Next I create a semi-circle along the blue plane. To derive the tarps from our SketchUp model, we drew out some basic gore-like polygons over the dome component and then used the Flattery extension to derive their dimensions for printing. This has been fixed and example dimensions have been added. Im folowing all the instructions implicitly. The placement of poles was wrong in the hexagon panel. UPDATE- Meydad from the Alon shevet, who built this dome, have written a comment with some corrections for this project. Using the proportional math from Domerama’s 3V dome calculator, we built a dynamic component that uses dome diameter and hub protrusion as inputs for automating a 3V dome.
