Help with making and modifying pyramids.

[20220374D3DY]

Im trying to create a robot that uses a rhombic dodechahedron shape. I found a repeating pattern of the shape and it is made of a pyramid which is very hard to modify and align properly. I can only use sweep on 1 side at a time and cannot align them to the centre. I also dont know how to create a pyramid from scratch in fusion. Theres also a specific side and angle ratios that arent rational numbers...

Do you want the most basic geometry for this thing?

I had a go at it and came up with this, maybe it helps.

Don't know what it's called so you'll probably want to rename it.

Hi

Look at how to make a single pyramid:

Laholm Rhombic Dodecahedron 

[KristianLaholm]

The Rhombic Dodecahedron has a simple geometric foundation, the two diagonals of the rhombic face have the ratio of sqrt(2).
This can be used with an offset plane, a sketch and Loft giving you one wedge (out of 24).
In the file I create the rest of the rhombic dodecahedron using a patterns only for proof of concept.
File attached.
