Small Stella 4.4 Description
"View polyhedra in 3D and print nets to make your own paper polyhedron models."
Editor: Small Stella is an ideal polyhedron program for schools or anyone interested in geometry. There are about 200 polyhedra provided, about 400 if you include their duals, and that's still not counting the infinite series of prisms and antiprisms. Best of all, you can print out the nets required to build your own paper models. Images can be displayed on a polyhedron's faces and printed on the nets (try photos of your pets). Models provided include the Platonic Solids, Archimedean solids, Kepler-Poinsot polyhedra, prisms/antiprisms, Johnson solids, 'Near Misses', Stewart toroids, compounds and geodesic domes. Duals of all these models are also available. You may Morph Between any model and its dual using one of six different techniques. And if you have red-blue glasses, you can see it all in 3D.
Features:
Rotate polyhedra on the screen by dragging the mouse with the left button down. Continuous rotation is also possible by releasing the button while still dragging the mouse.
Zoom in and out on polyhedra by dragging the mouse with the right button down (or use the mouse wheel).
Polyhedron faces may be exploded apart by dragging the mouse with the left button down and the Shift & Ctrl keys pressed.
Built-in models:
Platonic solids (see photos)
Archimedean solids (see photos)
Kepler-Poinsot solids (see photos)
Convex Prisms and antiprisms (see photos)
Johnson solids (non-uniform regular-faced convex polyhedra, see example photos)
'Near misses' (models that are almost Johnson solids)
Stewart toroids (regular-faced polyhedra with holes, see example photos), and Stewart's G3, Z4, X and K4' models
Five popular compounds (5 cubes, 5 octahedra, 2/5/10 tetrahedra)
A collection of geodesic domes (including geodesic Spheres and geodesic hemispheres)
Duals of the above polyhedra. (Lookup dual in glossary).
Nets: (Lookup net in glossary).
Print out nets for building any of the above polyhedra. You just tell it how big the final model should be.
