I did get it accepting the 2D vectors, as Chris had shown by forcing them
within the prism. I kept getting a 3D (or 4D or 5D?) when predeclaring even
with dot operators.

No dodecahedron (yet), so I leave that up to you to try and figure out.
Especially since I'm not sure what I'm doing with it. Chris's loop idea
sounds simpler but I couldn't get it to make one by rotating just the x
value, not with the loop he suggested though.

#declare v_01 =  <0.5, 0>;
#declare v_02 =  vrotate(<0.5, 0>,30*y);
#declare v_03 =  vrotate(<0.5, 0>,60*y);
#declare v_04 =  <0, -0.5>;
#declare v_05 =  vrotate(<0, -0.5>,30*y);
#declare v_06 =  vrotate(<0, -0.5>,60*y);
#declare v_07 =  <-0.5, 0>;
#declare v_08 =  vrotate(<-0.5, 0>,30*y);
#declare v_09 =  vrotate(<-0.5, 0>,60*y);
#declare v_10 =  <0, 0.5>;
#declare v_11 =  vrotate(<0, 0.5>,30*y);
#declare v_12 =  vrotate(<0, 0.5>,60*y);
