Generate 3D Star of David

[FONT= "Times New Roman"]I'm looking for a way to Generate a 216 Point Perfect Star of David every 60 degrees on the vertical axis. Right now I don't have any idea how to go about that or even an idea of how to structure a quadratic to look like a sphere composed of enumerated Star of David's every 60 degrees ? [/FONT]

 

What software are you using?

When you write 216 point, are you referring to its overall size?

A Star of David is a 6 pointed star with points alternating 360/6=60 degrees.

Therefore, if you rotate copies of an original by 60 degrees, all it will do is stack the copies on top of the original.

In my spare time, I design jewelry, and one of my designs is an interlocking Start of David that I drew first in AutoCAD, and exported the dxf to CorelDRAW!.

It would be a simple thing to create an array of multiple copies on the Z (vertical) axis, but you would need to determine how many copies you want in order to achieve your circular appearance. Counting the original, you only need 59 copies to fill the gap between the existing points.

mahalo!

 

Since I love playing with AutoCAD, and haven't had enough excuses to play with it lately, thought I'd take a stab at your project.

Since my XP box doesn't like to 3d render with this older version of AutoCAD, I had to port it over to my Win98SE box for rendering.

I doubt this is exactly what you're looking for, but it is an example for you.
If it were plotted on paper, the actual dimension of the star is about 4mm, but of course, it can be scaled to any size and any color selection(s).
