  Rhombicosidodecahedron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rhombicosidodecahedron, or small rhombicosidodecahedron, is an Archimedean solid.
The name rhombicosidodecahedron refers to the fact that the 30 square faces lie in the same planes as the 30 faces of the rhombic triacontahedron which is dual to the icosidodecahedron.
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a rhombicosidodecahedron centered at the origin are

icosidodecahedron, we move in exactly half way, the result is the rhombicosidodecahedron.
In the figure above, we can see that the 12 purple pentagonal faces and the 20 green triangular faces are what is left of the faces of the cubocahedron, after truncating the corners of that solid.
The 30 tan square faces arise from the truncation procedure.

 Molecular Models
This illustration of the small rhombicosidodecahedron shows how the fact that a selected group of faces of the icosahedron has faces with orientations matching those of the octahedron, along with the fact that a set of faces of the rhombic triacontahedron has orientations matching those of the faces of the cube, may be useful:
It may be noted that, in addition to spheres representing hydrogen atoms, and the shape used for the trigonal bipyramid bond arrangement, which is a bisected cuboctahedron with a layer of twelve rectangles inserted, some sets in this series also include atoms in the shape of the great rhombicuboctahedron and the icosidodecahedron.
In practice, the radii might be proportional to the Van der Waals radius of each kind of atom, perhaps from 40% to 25% of that radius on the scale on which bonds are represented.

 Co-ordinates and Distances
If one works with a connector in the shape of the small rhombicosidodecahedron rather than the rhombic triacontahedron, one gains in addition the ability to insert connectng rods from a connector at the center of either an icosahedron or a dodecahedron to its vertices.
Because the edges of a prism are parallel, and because the pentagonal faces of the small rhombicosidodecahedron are in the same orientation as those of a dodecahedron, the height of the triangular prisms equals the distance between the vertices of a dodecahedron and its center.
And the change from a pentagon to a decagon follows the same rule as the change from a triangle to a hexagon: so the height of the triangular prisms is again the distance from the vertices of a dodecahedron to its center.

The dimple pattern according to a great rhombicosidodecahedron will be discussed below for illustrative purposes only; the discussion below can be modified to apply with equal force to a dimple pattern of any desired shape or shape fragment.
To place dimples on a golf ball 1 according to a pattern defined by a great rhombicosidodecahedron, the surface of the ball is subdivided according to corresponding surfaces of the great rhombicosidodecahedron.

 Rhombi Archimedeans
There are two archimedeans call the rhombicuboctahedron and the rhombicosidodecahedron.
These two are sometimes called the small rhombi-cuboctahedron and the small rhombi-icosidodecahedron so as to distinguish them from two others in the fourth group, the great rhombicuboctahedron and the great rhombicosidodecahedron (truncated quasi-regulars).
If you look at it another way each pentagonal face is surrounded by a square at its edges with a triangle filling the space between each square.

The red edges give a similar collapse to the dodecahedron, with a corresponding twelve pentagonal prisms and twenty triangular pyramids.
If you prefer, you may instead focus on the thirty squares in the rhombicosidodecahedron.
There are two ways in which to simultaneously collapse all of these squares into line segments, and each is manifested in a family of triangular prisms in the model.

In fact it is the only solid that can fill a space with 4 lines at a point, and therefore is the simplest decomposition of space in congruent parts.
-The Small Rhombicosidodecahedron is obtained by cutting off the points of the Icosidodecahedron at the midpoint of each edge, and then adjusting the edges so they are all the same length.
-The Great Rhombicosidodecahedron is obtained by truncating the points of the Icosidodecahedron, and then adjusting the edges so they are all the same length.

Using modules that can interlock at various angles, I have been able to devise many kinds of other geometrical models.
A 90-degree module will give you a cube, a 120-degree module can give you truncated tetrahedron, cuboctahedron, dodecahedron, rhombicuboctahedron, etc.
With a 135-degree module, you can construct a trucated cube, rhombicosidodecahedron, truncated octahedron, isosidodecahedron, snub cube, snub dodecahedron, truncated icosahedron, etc. I suppose by now with your head spinning with possibilities and the ridiculously long names, you will get the idea of the limitless possibility to explore.
