Hi Shayne, also some tips here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=3340.1

There's a link in that thread to a page that has several polyhedral models in 3DM format so if that's the kind of shape that you want just import one of those models and you'll have it.

There's also links there for some construction techniques for how to build stuff like that manually, and if you want a ball with a larger number of triangles in it you would probably find that as a polygon model and then use the wireframe converter that can convert an OBJ file into a 3DM wireframe file so that you then would have all the line segments to create surfaces with (select 3 at a time and do Construct > Planar).

- Michael
