We introduce a new practical and more general definition of local symmetry-preserving operations on polyhedra. These can be applied to arbitrary plane graphs and result in plane graphs with the same symmetry. With some additional properties we can restrict the connectivity, e.g. when we only want to consider polyhedra. Using some base structures and a list of 10 extensions, we can generate all possible local symmetry-preserving operations isomorph-free.
