I am involved in a project that really needs a CAD based model for a geodesic
structure (dome). Can anyone refer me to any information about geometric
techniques
to generate the various breakdowns that are used. Has anyone developed
an algorithm for creating ellipsoid or other non-spherical geodesics?

I will be grateful for any suggestions.
