Spheroid Generator is now a web page. With just a web browser you can get
instructions showing where to put plates to make a sphere, cone, or tent in
any size, using plates. Kind of like Mosaic Maker. I'll be working on this
more, so that it can make printable instructions, plus other features.

Yes the web version also makes Ldraw models.

P.S. Follow up to lugnet.build.yoda because you'll need to use your Yoda
parts. (:

Geometrically speaking, what exactly is a tent?

I generated an example so I have a sense of a tent being a kind of concave
cone, as opposed to be sphere being a convex cone (if that makes any sense).

Is there any relationship between tents and spheres? Looking at them, it seems
like a tent + sphere = cube.
