Talk:Hexagonal bipyramid

Image of dodecadeltahedron

I uploaded the current image to commons:image:dodecadeltahedron.gif yesterday and used it in the article, but it isn't very accurate and the resolution is poor. Now I've created a better version at commons:image:dodecadeltahedron-2.ps.gif, but it's in PostScript and needs conversion to some other format. Can somebody assist? (The .ps.gif extension is a disguise and must be changed to .ps before conversion.) --Eddi (Talk) 00:09, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

The better version has been converted to commons:image:dodecadeltahedron-2.gif. --Eddi (Talk) 11:25, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Deltahedron

This is not a deltahedron. It cannot have equilateral triangles based on the following theorem:

The angle of an equilateral triangle is sharp enough so that 3, 4, or 5 triangles can meet at a vertex, but not for 6 because 60 * 6 is equal to 360, and thus that would make it a flat top. These have to be isosceles triangles, inconsistent with this category that says equilateral triangles. Georgia guy 23:38, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, not a Deltahedron. I linked it as a hexagonal bipyramid, and perhaps it should be renamed as such. Tom Ruen 00:32, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

off-topic

is it me or am I pressured to have to add "The Sims" on the see also tab or something, because of the usage of the hexagonal bipyramid as a "plumbob" or something. BantBirder (talk) 15:33, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Apparently things like that, pop culture sections or just sections that mention something appearing in some sort of media (even very well-known games like the Sims) aren't really agreed upon nowadays. Though this shape IS the current plumbob shape (yeah, it became a hexagonal bipyramid in the Sims 3). So, I wouldn't quite say this post is off-topic.
