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 ...
Models listed here can be cited as "Wenninger Model Number N", or W N for brevity. The polyhedra are grouped in 5 tables: Regular (1–5), Semiregular (6–18), regular star polyhedra (20–22,41), Stellations and compounds (19–66), and uniform star polyhedra (67–119).

An example is the rhombicuboctahedron, constructed by separating the cube or octahedron's faces from the centroid and filling them with squares. [8] Snub is a construction process of polyhedra by separating the polyhedron faces, twisting their faces in certain angles, and filling them up with equilateral triangles .
A regular octahedron is an octahedron that is a regular polyhedron. All the faces of a regular octahedron are equilateral triangles of the same size, and exactly four triangles meet at each vertex. A regular octahedron is convex, meaning that for any two points within it, the line segment connecting them lies entirely within it.
3D model of a truncated icosahedron. In geometry, the truncated icosahedron is a polyhedron that can be constructed by truncating all of the regular icosahedron's vertices. Intuitively, it may be regarded as footballs (or soccer balls) that are typically patterned with white hexagons and black pentagons.
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 .
