Plans for a dodecahedron model with sundial faces (incomplete) (DIN A3 portrait)
The following files currently contain the source files for generating a plan of a dodecahedron with a single sundial face and the output. There are additional diagrams illustrating how the face is found. I plan to add additional sundial faces for other more-or-less southward-pointing faces.
