How about generating a flat pattern of this 3D geometric wonder?  Recently at a technical education conference my employer CADDWorks Corp. received a request by a high-school teacher for information on this very topic. In this video you will see some basics of surface modeling, linked dimensions, and flattening sheet-metal boxes. Enjoy, and continue to send your suggestions to tim(at)solidworker.com.

(edit) After making the first revision of this video I started thinking about other ways to create the D12 shape. I have now added a second method for creationg a D12 that is not based on surface features but rather solid features.
