1. Open Cinema 4D. (duh)
2. Create a platonic (Objects > Primative > Platonic)
3. Press 'c' to make the platonic editable.
4. Goto Structure > Edit Surface > Matrix Extrude, and use these settings:
Everything defualt, except Z: 175.

7. Tools > Polygons. Then Tools > Live Selection. Click anywhere on your model, so that a piece of it is highlighted. Then press Ctrl+A to select the whole thing.
