"I think the license warning might be one day short, so you have twice as much time (ie 2 days). Email me and I'll extend. If you turn bucky ball option to false, it should produce triangle faces."

" Are you looking to code this or utilize it? I've implemented it in StructDrawRhino, http://geometrygym.blogspot.com/2010/03/structdrawrhino-grasshopper-geodesic.html which might be one reference you might test. Cheers, Jon"
