Chamfered Cube

This was in the Grasshopper forum, then disappeared while I was working on it

What a burn It was moved to here:

Chamfered cube with equal edges

[Polyhedron_chamfered_6_edeq_max] [Polyhedron_chamfered_12_edeq] Hi all, I’m trying to model a Chamfered Cube with all equal edge lengths(like pics) in Rhino or Grasshopper. Any idea how to approach this? Thanks!

I was going to mention Rhino Polyhedra and this GH code that uses it, which I belatedly posted in August, 2024 (original was done in October, 2022):

Finding "normal" direction at intersection of a polyhedron

I am stunned that I didn’t post it two years ago but can’t find it on the forum RhinoPolyhedra_2022Oct17a.gh (42.0 KB) P.S. I see this when trying to run it in R8: [missing] So I tried ‘Download and Install’, perhaps for the first time, and get this: [missing2] I probably got it here but don’t see an R8 version? Paging Dale Fugier (@dale ?) https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/rhinopolyhedra P.P.S. They appear for me here in R7: [polyhedra]

But today I decided to try a geometric construction approach and came up with this:

This requires adjusting the ‘Parameter’ slider (blue group, zero to one) to minimize the value in the text panel below it. It’s interesting even when the text panel value is not minimized.
