High tech steps for making a 6 inch high geodome paper model

I Make 8 paper hexagon panels

1.) Use a computer spread sheet program and spread sheet

formulas to determine the Cartesian coordinates of

the corners of a hexagon drawn inside a six inch

diameter circle.

2.)Use a computer assisted design (CAD) program to draw

a six inch diameter circle with a hexagon drawn

inside.

4.)Print and cut out the circles.

5.)Fold back the fold lines to make flaps.

(See diagram above)

II Make 6 paper square panels

1.) Use a computer spread sheet program and spread sheet

formulas to determine the Cartesian coordinates of

the corners of a square drawn inside a 3.5 inch

diameter circle.

2.)Use a computer assisted design (CAD) program to draw

a 3.5 inch diameter circle with a hexagon drawn

inside.

4.)Print and cut out the circles.

5.)Fold back the fold lines to make flaps.

(See diagram above)

III Staple the flaps together. (Click geodome to see how

panels fit together.)
