For a project I’m working on I need various polyhedrals. Specifically Icosahedron, dodecahedron, pentagonal trapezoid, octahedron, cube, and a triangular pyramid.

However I’m having difficulties finding 3d objects of these shapes to import into Shapr that are the correct file type… does anybody here already have those polyhedrals in the correct file or know a good resource to collect them?

They need to be in one of the following file types.  
X\_T  
STEP or STP  
IGES  
SHAPR  
SLDPRT

Hi,

I think many if not all of these can be found on [Grabcad.com](http://Grabcad.com)

I could not figure out Grabcad…

But FormZ\* (that is my ‘homebase’) got it all except the pentagonal trapezoid.

that combo works quite good; .dae to .igs

\*(the combo Shapr/FormZ solves all that Shapr (not yet) does.)
