# Geometric Pattern Tools

## Geodesic Dome

**`ggGeoDome`**

A **geodesic dome** is a hemispherical thin-shell structure (lattice-shell) based on a **geodesic** polyhedron. The triangular elements of the **dome** are structurally rigid and distribute the structural stress throughout the structure, making **geodesic domes** able to withstand very heavy loads for their size.

Refer to this [blog post](https://geometrygym.blogspot.com/2010/03/structdrawrhino-grasshopper-geodesic.html#comment-form) on uses for the geodesic dome.

## Polyhedron

**`ggPolyhedron`**

In geometry, a polyhedron is simply a three-dimensional solid which consists of a collection of [polygons](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Polygon.html), usually joined at their edges. To learn more about polyhedron visit [wolfram](http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Polyhedron.html).

You can build a number using the Geometry Gym Polyhedron tool. Please *right click* on the components type input to view all the available polyhedron types. Use the simple example below to test for yourself.

Example

## Tessellation

**`ggTessellation`**

A tessellation of a flat surface is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellation can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries.

The tessellation tools allows for you to pack over 10 different pattern types onto a planar Brep surface. Hoover over the type input to view all the available polyhedron types. Use the simple example below to test for yourself.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://technical.geometrygym.com/rhino-grasshopper/bullant/geometry-creation-tools/misc-creation-tools.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
