replace faces with vertices?
But figuring out how to do this with more complex objects is a little more tricky. I realize I could select all faces, extrude[faces not together, scaleXYZ = 0], then merge vertices to create vertices at the center of all the faces, but I'm still left with the rest of the geometry that I don't want. I can't simply select all the other vertices and delete them unfortunately.
Is there an easy way to do this? If you want an example to practice on:
Create>Polygons>Platonic Solids[Icosadohedron]
Select all vertices and Edit Mesh>Chamfer Vertices[.3333]
Select all faces and Edit Mesh>Extrude[local scale XYZ = 0, don't keep faces together]
and try to get the dual of that object because that's similar to the geometry that I'm working with.
