9- Directional Array

3D Model

The origin of this field can be seen as 3 distinct 3-directional xyz systems that are rotated

from each other about a common 3-fold axis of symmetry. The major polyhedron that this

combined system generates is a polar zonohedron with 72 faces. In this array, major cells are

connected at polar vertices, like strings of beads. They also form rings of 9 cells around the

cetral axis each cell sharing edges in common with adjacent cells. The space between cells

can be completely filled with minor zonohedral cells using edge directions parallel with some

of the original coordinates. The white bands in this model can be seen to define zones that

continue throughout the array.
