Is there any way to triangulate a bucky?
I need to make a model of this dome (below). I thought I would start with a bucky and try to modify it from hexagonal sides to triangles, but there appears to be no options to do that easily. A platonic would also work since they are triangular sides, but there aren’t enough sides to make it a dome. Is there a simple fix for this I’m not seeing? Is the only alternative to cut it up myself and make those edges triangular?

maybe, make editable, select all polys then run inset/ inner extrude command, then pull the new points toward centre of each poly and then merge the new points into one?

*Correction… I forgot about the division on the face, you will need to do that process on each 5 sided shape, and have preserve groups on within the inset tool. and use the collapse command to merge the new points together.

Thank you so much! I’ll try this and get back to you.
