Generate a Goldberg polyhedron using inputs m and n to modify the number and orientation of faces.

[Watch the Tutorial Video](https://youtu.be/fglKoqLZsY0)

To create a mesh, drag and drop the graph vertices into the "Delaunay Volume Mesh" block.

To create an implicit, drag and drop the mesh into the “Implicit Body from Mesh” block.

## Installation

Clone this repo or copy the package folder into your nTop workspace:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/nTopology/Utilities-community.git
```

The package lives at `packages/DaveMakesStuff/goldberg-polyhedron-generator/`.

## Usage

1. Open the provided `.ntop` file in nTop 4.26+.
2. Input values for radius, m, and n variables.
3. Select "Icosahedral" or "spherical" output
