Too little for a chapter
I propose that this chapter is removed. Or it is repurposed to list and explain the supplied examples in the distro. Msquare (discuss • contribs) 07:57, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

non working example
I don't think that this example is working correctly. While the theory is good, the model that is generated does not look like a dodecahedron. The problem appears to be that the initial cube is too small, as compared with the later intersecting cubes.

Identified the problem in the example, fixed it, and updated the rendered image. Craig.trader (discuss • contribs) 15:01, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

query idiom
I think the code has a few issues from the point of good design: - the module embeds a scaling operation which is better left out and done outside the module - this removes the need for a parameter but its not a parameterisable shape - both numbers are mysterious - at least the 116.565 should be named as the dihedral angle, and the 72 number better replaced by 360/5 - I'd prefer to factor out the box object as a module so its clearer that it is the same object being placed 6 times.
