This page is about a feature that is supported only in GeoGebra 5.0.

Icosahedron[ <Point>, <Point>, <Direction> ]

Creates an icosahedron having the segment between the two points as an edge.

The other vertices are univocally determined by the given direction, that needs to be:

The created icosahedron will have:

a face with the segment as an edge in a plane orthogonal to the given vector/segment/line/ray, or
a face with the segment as an edge in a plane parallel to the polygon/plane.

Icosahedron[ <Point>, <Point>]: Creates an icosahedron having the segment between the two points as an edge, and a face contained in a plane parallel to xOy plane.; Note: This syntax is a shortcut for Icosahedron[ <Point>, <Point>, xOyPlane], which requires that the segment between the two points is parallel to xOy plane.

Note: See also Cube, Tetrahedron, Octahedron, Dodecahedron commands.
