="Henry Baker" <hbaker1@pipeline.com> A usual trick in modeling 3D surfaces is to "triangulate" them with triangles that could in principle be hooked together with hinges.
Q. Is it possible to "quadrangulate" a 3D surface with _only_ (planar) quadrilaterals "hinged" together ?
(A quadrilateral has to have 4 non-trivial sides, so no triangles as limiting cases.)
How would we quadrangulate a tetrahedron?
