List of Wenninger polyhedron models
This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article "List_of_Wenninger_polyhedron_models".
This table contains an indexed list of the Uniform and stellated polyhedra from the book Polyhedron Models, by Magnus Wenninger.
The book was written as a guide book to building polyhedra as physical models. It includes templates of face elements for construction and helpful hints in building, and also brief descriptions on the theory behind these shapes.
It contains the 75 nonprismatic uniform polyhedra, as well as 44 stellated forms of the convex regular polyhedra.
This list was written to honor this early polyhedral work from Wenninger, and to provide a detailed reference to the 119 numbered models in his book.
Models listed here can be cited as "Wenninger Model Number N", or WN for brevity.
The polyhedra are grouped below in 5 tables: Regular (1-5), Semiregular (6-18), regular star polyhedra (20-22,41), Stellations and compounds (19-66), and uniform star polyhedra (67-119). The four regular star polyhedra are listed twice because they belong to both the uniform polyhedra and stellation groupings.
Stellations: models W19 to W66
Stellations of octahedron
Stellations of dodecahedron
Stellations of icosahedron
Stellations of cuboctahedron
Stellations of icosidodecahedron
Uniform nonconvex solids W67 to W119
