Dome Designer is a complete package to take you all the way from the conceptual foundations of dome design to having a completed dome doing the job you want it for. In combination with the Design Tutorial and the Builder's Manual, even someone with a modicum of building experience can successfully build a geodesic dome - something that used to be the province of highly specialized and expert architects and builders. At the heart of this package is the Dome Designer software program. It will do all of the mathematical calculations for you and print out a complete set of detailed plans that you can build from. Here you can see Dome Designer in action, and learn about its features in detail. Just click below to begin the tour.
