merge coplanar triangle faces

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am working with a pentagonal hexecontahedron. Each "face" is a irregular convex pentagon. The mesh I was working from, each pentagon was made up of eight triangles. Using various tools, I was able to export that mesh as a solid.

I want to be able to push and pull individual pentagon faces without other pentagons breaking up into non coplanar triangles. I was able to do this in 123d design but with a dodecahedron. Now I am moving up in number of faces.

Can I merge triangles into pentagonal faces? If so, how?

Can you at least attach an image or perhaps better share your design and maybe make a screencast ?

In the Mesh Environment, under Modify menu, I think this is what you are looking for.
