The rhombic dodecahedron can be seen as a degenerate limiting case of a pyritohedron, with permutation of coordinates (±1, ±1, ±1) and (0, 1 + h, 1 − h 2) with parameter h = 1. These coordinates illustrate that a rhombic dodecahedron can be seen as a cube with six square pyramids attached to each face, allowing them to fit together into a ...

In geometry, the first stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron is a self-intersecting polyhedron with 12 faces, each of which is a non-convex hexagon. It is a stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron and has the same outer shell and the same visual appearance as two other shapes: a solid, Escher's solid, with 48 triangular faces, and a polyhedral compound of three flattened octahedra with 24 ...

Here we usually add the rule that all of the original face planes must be present in the stellation, i.e. we do not consider partial stellations. For example the cube is not usually considered a stellation of the cuboctahedron. Generalising Miller's rules there are: 4 stellations of the rhombic dodecahedron; 187 stellations of the triakis ...
The vertices with the obtuse rhombic face angles have 4 cells. The vertices with the acute rhombic face angles have 6 cells. The rhombic dodecahedron can be twisted on one of its hexagonal cross-sections to form a trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron, which is the cell of a somewhat similar tessellation, the Voronoi diagram of hexagonal close-packing.
Rhombic triacontahedron (Dual of icosidodecahedron) — V(3.5.3.5) arccos (- √ 5 +1 / 4 ) = 4 π / 5 144° Medial rhombic triacontahedron (Dual of dodecadodecahedron) — V(5. 5 / 2 .5. 5 / 2 ) arccos (- 1 / 2 ) = 2 π / 3 120° Great rhombic triacontahedron (Dual of great icosidodecahedron) — V(3 ...
It has octahedral symmetry (O h) and shares the same vertices as a rhombic dodecahedron. This can be seen as the three-dimensional equivalent of the compound of two squares ({8/2} " octagram "); this series continues on to infinity, with the four-dimensional equivalent being the compound of tesseract and 16-cell.
