Models may also be morphed into their duals in real-time on the computer screen, using one of five different techniques.
When a new model is created (either chosen from the list, or generated using tools such as faceting), and nets are required, the stellation process is performed first, and the appropriate set of cells is automatically selected to reproduce the original model.
The current polyhedron, its dual, or the current stellation of either can be put into any one of the four memories (except for infinite dual models, or stellations with holes in their faces).

 Stellation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Using a set of rules proposed by J. Miller, there are 58 stellations, including such figures as the triakis icosahedron, the compound of five octahedra, the great icosahedron, the compound of five tetrahedra, and the compound of ten tetrahedra.
List of Wenninger polyhedron models Includes 44 stellated forms of the octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron, and icosidodecahedron, enumerated the 1971 book "Polyhedron Models" by Magnus Wenninger
Polyhedral compound Includes 5 regular compounds and 4 dual regular compounds.

 Variations of Uniform Polyhedra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
It is sometimes the case that by slightly shifting the faces of a uniform polyhedron, it is possible, in some sense, to ``maximize'' the self-intersections of those faces, thereby minimizing the number of individual facets necessary to construct it.
Model numbers for these polyhedra are: 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 78, 80, 82, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91, 94, 100, 102, 104, 106, and 107.
Studying the model should make its construction clear, but be aware that certain parts will meet in the interior of the model, so it would be a good idea to glue them in the interior in order to reinforce the model.

 Dual Models:0521543258:Magnus J. Wenninger:eCampus.com
In Dual Models, written in the same enthusiastic style as its predecessors Polyhedron Models and Spherical Models, Magnus J. Wenninger presents the complete set of uniform duals of uniform polyhedral, thus rounding out a significant body of knowledge with respect to polyhedral forms.
Models made by the author are shown in photographs, and these, along with line drawings, diagrams, and commentary, invite readers to undertake the task of making the models, using index cards or tag paper and glue as construction materials.
The mathematics is deliberately kept at the high school or secondary level, and hence the book presumes at most some knowledge of geometry and ordinary trigonometry and the use of a scientific type small electronic calculator.

 Geometry.Net - Basic Math Books: Euclidean Geometry
Hyperbolic geometry is of crucial importance in physics, particularly in the theory of relativity, and the author begins a discussion of this kind of geometry in chapter 3.
Hyperbolic n-space is viewed more as dual to elliptic geometry in the sense that it is modeled as a unit sphere of imaginary radius with only the positive sheet of this (disconnected) set retained.
This is followed in the next chapters by a model of hyperbolic n-space as a conformal ball and an upper half-space, and a consideration of the isometries of hyperbolic space.

Wenninger's descriptive and precise writing style is invaluable--his advice on construction methods and techniques are right on the mark.
In nearly all cases, he provides sufficient data to allow the reader to draw his/her own templates, but especially in the most complex polyhedra the facial plane data is lacking, most likely because it is too lengthy to include.
The explanations for building each model are concise.

However, others are good spherical t-designs, or good coverings, etc. At some point I plan to go through this list and annotate it with further information about minimal angle, covering radius, index as a t-design, order of automorphism group, etc.
