3D sketches

Anonymous — Fri, 16 Feb 2018 16:47:38 GMT

Hi ,I m really new to fusion , like it a lot so far.As an exercise I have been trying to sketch a dodecahedron . My last attempt , I drew 3 offset sketches with the necessary geometry, the 4th sketch was intended to connect the point as to create the wanted final shape.When I connect the point the created faces won't "close" .what I m missing?

thanks

Thanks Cadwhisperer , could not figure how to open your file ,I have managed to model a icosahedron ,my present issue is not so much about being able to complete the dodecahedron but understanding why the faces I m creating won t close

Cool,thanks again , I figured out my problem , if you look at my first pic ( because of bad construction or imprecisions )the pentagon are not a perfect plan , when I draw a horizontal line@ the middle sketch, the shape closes
