In geometry, the truncated cube, or truncated hexahedron, is an Archimedean solid. It has 14 regular faces (6 octagonal and 8 triangular ), 36 edges, and 24 vertices. If the truncated cube has unit edge length, its dual triakis octahedron has edges of lengths 2 and δ S +1 , where δ S is the silver ratio, √ 2 +1.

Stella is a computer program available in three versions (Great Stella, Small Stella and Stella4D).
The truncated cubic honeycomb or truncated cubic cellulation is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of truncated cubes and octahedra in a ratio of 1:1, with an isosceles square pyramid vertex figure. John Horton Conway calls this honeycomb a truncated cubille, and its dual pyramidille.
The truncated order-5 cubic honeycomb, , has truncated cube and icosahedron cells, with a pentagonal pyramid vertex figure. It can be seen as analogous to the 2D hyperbolic truncated order-5 square tiling , t{4,5}, with truncated square and pentagonal faces:
For example, a chamfered cube, cC, can be constructed as t 4 daC, as a rhombic dodecahedron, daC or jC, with its degree-4 vertices truncated. A lofted cube, lC is the same as t 4 kC. A quinto-dodecahedron, qD can be constructed as t 5 daaD or t 5 deD or t 5 oD, a deltoidal hexecontahedron, deD or oD, with its degree-5 vertices truncated.
The cyclotruncated cubic-octahedral honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from truncated cube and octahedron cells, in a square antiprism vertex figure. It has a Coxeter diagram . Perspective view from center of octahedron. It can be seen as somewhat analogous to the trioctagonal tiling, which has truncated square and triangle ...
In seven-dimensional geometry, a truncated 7-cube is a convex uniform 7-polytope, being a truncation of the regular 7-cube. There are 6 truncations for the 7-cube. Vertices of the truncated 7-cube are located as pairs on the edge of the 7-cube. Vertices of the bitruncated 7-cube are located on the square faces
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.
