Hi there dome-people ! I am in the process of constructing a geodesic greenhouse. Pretty much the type of thing this guy rused up : http://babelquark.blog.co.uk/2011/03/01/assembly-10731271/ But I cant find a way to understand his measures. For example in the 3V calculator of this site http://www.geo-dome.co.uk/3v_tool.asp When I enter my Radius length will this be the effective radius, I mean the radius of the actual dome or is it the radius of the sphere containing this dome (wich should be a bit higher !) What I mean is illustrated here http://www.domerama.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/38-radius-spherical_floor.jpg Thanks to all !
