Dodecahedron
represents a regular dodecahedron centered at the origin with unit edge length.
Dodecahedron[l]
represents a dodecahedron with edge length l.
Dodecahedron[{θ,ϕ},…]
represents a dodecahedron rotated by an angle θ with respect to the z axis and angle ϕ with respect to the y axis.
Dodecahedron[{x,y,z},…]
represents a dodecahedron centered at {x,y,z}.
Details and Options
- Dodecahedron is also known as regular dodecahedron or pentagonal dodecahedron.
- Dodecahedron can be used as a geometric region and graphics primitive.
- Dodecahedron[] is equivalent to Dodecahedron[{0,0,0},1].
- Dodecahedron[l] is equivalent to Dodecahedron[{0,0,0},l].
- CanonicalizePolyhedron can be used to convert a dodecahedron to an explicit Polyhedron object.
- Dodecahedron can be used in Graphics3D.
- In graphics, the points and edge lengths can be Scaled and Dynamic expressions.
- Graphics rendering is affected by directives such as FaceForm, EdgeForm, Opacity, Texture and color.
- The following options and settings can be used in graphics:
-
VertexColors Automatic vertex colors to be interpolated VertexNormals Automatic effective vertex normals for shading VertexTextureCoordinates None coordinates for textures

FaceForm and EdgeForm can be used to specify the styles of the faces and edges:
Apply a Texture to the faces:
Assign VertexColors to vertices:
