I can help with the wikipage over at appropedia. (Did http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_H13_Plywood so no problem.) But, working from Linux, I'm finding it difficult to see the .skp file Jared sent ... wait, I can see it here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/hexayurt/CsrF1dpQTJM So, the question (for Jared) really is - mind if I upload that image and start http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_H2 with the text of your explanation? Thanks, Lucas
