The truncated octahedron has 14 faces (8 regular hexagons and 6 squares), 36 edges, and 24 vertices. Since each of its faces has point symmetry the truncated octahedron is a 6-zonohedron. It is also the Goldberg polyhedron G IV (1,1), containing square and hexagonal faces. Like the cube, it can tessellate (or "pack") 3-dimensional space, as a ...
English: A diagram showing how an en:octahedron is made into a truncated octahedron (blue) by removing square pyramids from each face (red). Français : Diagramme montrant comment on obtient un tétrakaidécaèdre d'Archimède (ou octaèdre tronqué ) en tronquant les 6 sommets d'un octaèdre régulier à hauteur du tiers de chaque arête.
The truncated icosahedron is an Archimedean solid, meaning it is a highly symmetric and semi-regular polyhedron, and two or more different regular polygonal faces meet in a vertex. [5] It has the same symmetry as the regular icosahedron, the icosahedral symmetry , and it also has the property of vertex-transitivity .
There are many relations among the uniform polyhedra. [1] [2] [3] Some are obtained by truncating the vertices of the regular or quasi-regular polyhedron.Others share the same vertices and edges as other polyhedron.
In geometry, the rectified truncated octahedron is a convex polyhedron, constructed as a rectified, truncated octahedron. It has 38 faces: 24 isosceles triangles , 6 squares , and 8 hexagons .
A bitruncated cube is a truncated octahedron. A bitruncated cubic honeycomb - Cubic cells become orange truncated octahedra, and vertices are replaced by blue truncated octahedra. In geometry, a bitruncation is an operation on regular polytopes. The original edges are lost completely and the original faces remain as smaller copies of themselves.

The bitruncated cubic honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space made up of truncated octahedra (or, equivalently, bitruncated cubes). It has 4 truncated octahedra around each vertex. Being composed entirely of truncated octahedra, it is cell-transitive.
