5 Stretching a Zone

5 Stretching a Zone

1Zonohedra have bands of parallel edges. Any such band of edges can be stretched to alter the shape of the zonohedron. Stretching a band of edges does not alter any angles.

7 Stretching zones allows one to build buildings of different shapes using the same kinds of components.
