Here is how the fifth level tetrahedron looks.

  1. aaand another 3D fractal maker! Great job, RP...it works perfectly. I like how the faces are colored so its easy to see how it all fits together. Another one for the geometry teachers!

  2. Great work, I didn't know SketchUp could be used like this, I must look into this... I love this shape (that's how I got here), I even bought a 3D printed version at Shapeways: http://www.shapeways.com/model/119919/sierpinski_tetrahedron.html
