Platonic solids are shapes where all sides are equal, all angles are the same, and all faces are identical. These are: • Tetrahedron: four triangular faces • Octahedron: eight triangular faces • Dodecahedron: twelve pentagonal faces • Icosahedron: twenty triangular faces (The cube-the fifth platonic solid-has a separate listing in the primitives.) You can switch between these types by selecting Solid Type in the Attribute Editor or in the option box for Platonic Solids. For these four shapes, you can set the following options: Radius Enter values or use the slider to specify the radius of the platonic solid. (For interactive creation, appears as a single-click setting only.) Side Length Enter values or use the slider to specify the side length of the platonic solid. (For interactive creation, appears as a single-click setting only.) Platonic type You can switch between platonic solid types in the options for these shapes.
