I don't know much about this stuff, but i did an icosahedron using the "cartesian coordinates" i found in its wikipedia page. I doubt this is a good method for doing different types of Archimedean solids: http://grasshopper3d.googlegroups.com/web/icosahedron.jpg Btw, why do you want to manipulate individual points in grasshopper? Once you start manipulating indivual points, the relationships that build the structure are lost, so you might as well bake it and do it in rhino.
