Hello,

   I've been looking for the planes that define a rhombic triacontahedron.  So
far I've found the below.  Does anyone have a similiar declaration for a rhombic
triacontahedron?

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RhombicTriacontahedron.html

   I want the planes of the rhombic triacontahedron to match the edges of the
dodecahedron defined below as I'm wanting to animate an edge twist dodecahedron
like those seen here:

http://users.skynet.be/gelatinbrain/Applets/Magic%20Polyhedra/

Thanks,
Carl

I believe this does it...

     plane {-x, 1 rotate <58.28252558854, -252, 0>}
     plane {-x, 1 rotate <58.28252558854, -324, 0>}

     plane {x, 1 rotate <58.28252558854,  -36, 0>}
     plane {x, 1 rotate <58.28252558854, -108, 0>}
     plane {x, 1 rotate <58.28252558854, -180, 0>}
     plane {x, 1 rotate <58.28252558854, -252, 0>}
     plane {x, 1 rotate <58.28252558854, -324, 0>}
    }

Looks good to me... wasn't as complicated as I was expecting.

  How about:

#macro RhombicTriacontahedronSection(Dir)
     plane {Dir, 1 rotate <58.28252558854,  -36, 0>}
     plane {Dir, 1 rotate <58.28252558854, -108, 0>}
     plane {Dir, 1 rotate <58.28252558854, -180, 0>}
     plane {Dir, 1 rotate <58.28252558854, -252, 0>}
     plane {Dir, 1 rotate <58.28252558854, -324, 0>}
#end

#declare RhombicTriacontahedron =
  intersection
  { RhombicTriacontahedronSection(-z)
    RhombicTriacontahedronSection(z)
    RhombicTriacontahedronSection(-y)
    RhombicTriacontahedronSection(y)
    RhombicTriacontahedronSection(-x)
    RhombicTriacontahedronSection(x)
  };

I generated some files which might be useful for you,
givin  a mesh2 object of the desired shape, a skeleton made of cylinder, and
lists of transformations that map an object to either a edge or a face of the
polyhedron :

dodecahedron :
http://code.google.com/p/spirals/source/browse/pearls/scene/geometry/polyhedra/archimedean/dodecahedron.inc

rhombic triacontahedron :

http://code.google.com/p/spirals/source/browse/pearls/scene/geometry/polyhedra/archimedean/rhombic_triacontahedron.inc

Other polyhedra are available in the same directory.
The ugly java source code generating those inc from off files can be
found there :
http://code.google.com/p/voronoijava/source/browse/Voronoi/src/test/OffReader3DMeshV2.java
(some classes usefull there are in the utils directory)

I almost replied to this before, but I wasn't sure if I would be of any help
(and then you solved your query anyway ;-), but if you look in the object
collection:

http://lib.povray.org/searchcollection/index2.php

You can see my recent platonic, archimedean and catalan solid mesh2 include
files (I have others to be added in the near future). Although I don't have any
mapping transforms in my includes, they do supply all the vertices in an array,
in addition to the meshes.

.... and of course you knew that neither the dodecahedron nor the rhombic
triacontahedron are archimedean solids :-)

I always have messy directories...
