This shows various Rhombic Dodecahedra. The first series are symmetrical about a four-fold axis, ranging from “stretched,” or prolate, to “squashed,” or oblate. These are Affine Transformations. Scenes shows some examples that can be constructed with vZome. Only the yellow and the green models are zometool buildable.

Rhombic Dodecahedron Four-fold

This Video shows several more examples, in a sequence.

Below is shown a series of transformations about a 3-fold axis. Scenes shows some examples that can be constructed with zometool.
