Dodecahedron in Patch workspace?

[robduarte]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a dodecahedron in the patch workspace. I know it's possible using other methods, but the Patch workspace seems the best suited. I sketched a pentagon, then tried to copy it and rotate it by the angle shown here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_polyhedron_dihedral_angles ... PI - atan(2)

Any ideas as to why it isn't working out? (the image shows the second face as I'm about to angle it, and what it looks like after doing a circular pattern)

Thanks for any tips...

Hm, another website has a different formula for the angle:  2 cos^-1 (.5/sin72) = 116.565

By entering 180 - 116.565, I was able to get the right angle.
