Creating a polyhedron cell structure (Tetradecahedron)

Hello,

I would like to create a 3D Tetradecahedron cell structure (please see the attached picture) with ligaments which are beams with triangular cross sections. I was wondering if it is possible to make a 3D sketch of the polyhedron with lines, and then mount the beams on the sketch skeleton? Or it is better create single ligaments and then assemble them in a way that creates the final Tetradecahedron cell ? I would appreciate your guidance and suggestions on the best way to make the model.

Regards,
Reza
