SolidWorks Part Reviewer: Golf ball

Golf Ball: The location of the dimples on the golf ball will be based on a icosahedron: a polyhedron with 20 triangular faces, 30 edges and 12 vertices. The insert part feature is used to bring a completed icosahedron model into the golf ball model as a reference for construction.

Please see the part “Moderate- Icosahedron” located on the website for SolidWorks Part Reviewer example files to examine how the icosehdron was modeled.
