Onshape Assignment 12 Transform (You Are Going To Make A Dodecahedron) Part 3 of 3

This document provides steps to create a dodecahedron in OnShape. It begins by lofting a hexagon to create the initial shape. It then mirrors this part to create a sixth of the dodecahedron. A circular pattern is used to create three copies and form half of the shape. A mirror plane is created and used to mirror the half, creating the other half. The two halves are then joined together using a boolean operation to form the full dodecahedron. Additional formatting and labeling is applied to complete the model.

12 Transform (You are


going to make a
Dodecahedron)
Part 3 of 3
By: Mr. Gravitt
Step 29.1 – Loft the Hexagon
• Loft the Hexagon to the Origin.
• Call it 12th OF DODECAHEDRON.
Step 29.2 – Loft the Hexagon
• This is Part 6 & it is one 12th of a
Dodecahedron! We are keeping it!
Step 30.1 – Mirror this part which creates
a 6th of DODECAHEDRON
• Orient your part like so, with the VERTEX
AXIS UP.
Step 30.2 – Mirror
• Select Mirror.
• Name it 12TH MIRROR.
Step 30.3 – Mirror
• Entity to mirror is Part 6.
Step 30.4 – Mirror
• Make it an ADD & the face to mirror off of
is Bottom (180° from the Vertex Axis).
Step 30.5 – Mirror
• Vertex Axis should be 180° off like so...
• This
makes
Part 6 a
6th of a
Dodeca-
hedron.
• Next step
we make
3 copies
to create
a half!
Step 31.1 – Circular Pattern to make a
Half of a Dodecahedron.
• Circular Pattern 3 copies around the
Vertex Axis which makes it a half.
Step 31.2 – Circular Pattern to make a
Half of a Dodecahedron.
• Name it
CIRCULAR
TO HALF.
• We going to
ADD to Part
6.
• Entities to
pattern is
Part 6.
Step 31.3 – Circular Pattern to make a
Half of a Dodecahedron.
• Entities to
pattern is
Part 6.
• You can
click on the
part or on
Part 6 in the
Parts list on
the lower
left.
Step 31.4 – Circular Pattern to make a
Half of a Dodecahedron.
• Entities to
pattern is
Part 6.
• You can
click on the
part or on
Part 6 in the
Parts list on
the lower
left.
Step 31.5 – Circular Pattern to make a
Half of a Dodecahedron.
• Instance
Count is 3.
• We are
going to
create 3
copies in a
360° pattern.
Step 31.6 – Circular Pattern to make a
Half of a Dodecahedron.
• Select Axis
of Pattern.
• We are
going to use
the VERTEX
AXIS
again…
Step 31.7 – Circular Pattern to make a
Half of a Dodecahedron.
• Should make these 3 copies in a 360°
circle. Making a half of a Dodecahedron.
Step 32.1 – Half of a Dodecahedron
times 2 makes a Whole!
• We need a plane to Mirror a copy of this.
• We are going to make that plane now…
Step 32.2 – Create a Mirror Plane

• Orient
your part
with the
VERTEX
AXIS
UP.
Step 32.3 – Create a Mirror Plane

• Orient
your part
with the
bottom 3
points
visible.
Step 32.4 – Create a Mirror Plane
• Insert a
New
Plane.
• Named
HORIZON
PLANE.
• Plane
Type – 3
Point.
Step 32.5 – Create a Mirror Plane
• Select
these 3
Points to
make your
new plane.
Step 32.6 – Create a Mirror Plane
• Should
insert a
new plane
just like in
the
picture.
• Then Click
Finished
(Green
Checkmar
k).
Step 32.7 – Create a Mirror Plane
• Create a
new offset
plane off
of the
HORIZON
PLANE
that we
just
created.
Step 32.8 – Create a Mirror Plane
• Named
MIRROR
PLANE.
• Entity is the
HORIZON
PLANE.
• Change the
plane type
from offset
to a PLANE
POINT.
Step 32.9 – Create a Mirror Plane
• I hide the
Horizon
Plane.
• Now we
have a
MIRROR
PLANE that
cuts it in
half, so we
can make a
180° copy
off of…
Step 33.1 – It’s Time to Mirror Part 6!!!
• Select the Mirroring Tool.
Step 33.2 – It’s Time to Mirror Part 6!!!
• Name it MIRROR HALF.
• Leave it as NEW, it must be a new part!
• It has to
be a new
part (Part
7) so that
we can
spin &
align it
up.
Step 33.4 – It’s Time to Mirror Part 6!!!
• Select Entities to mirror.
Step 33.5 – It’s Time to Mirror Part 6!!!
• Select Part 6.
Step 33.6 – It’s Time to Mirror Part 6!!!
• Select mirror plane & select Plane
MIRROR PLANE.

• Angle = 60°.
• Click on Entities to Transform.
Step 34.4 – Need to Rotate Part 7
• Click on Entities Part 7.
Step 34.5 – Need to Rotate Part 7
• Click on Axis.
Step 34.6 – Need to Rotate Part 7
• Click on VERTEX AXIS.
Step 34.7 – Need to Rotate Part 7
• It should rotate & then Click Finished.
Step 34.8 – Need to Rotate Part 7
• It’s
rotated!
• We have
a Part 6
