Aerial view of the enclosure. This was an earlier, "bare" version.Geodesic domes are always interesting to work with, whether it is for a
small greenhouse or for a fictional enclosure. Here is a controlled environment under a geodesic dome in the midst of a desert like scene. Creating the dome took some calculations. A good tutorial on how to figure out the dimensions of the triangular frames
can be found here. To find the meeting points in SketchUp, instead of using a compass like shown in the video, two intersecting circles with the proper radii were used instead. This model was created using SketchUp7, rendered in Vray, and finished using GIMP.
