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.
Octahedron-first parallel projection into 3 dimensions, with octahedral cells highlighted. The octahedron-first parallel projection of the truncated 16-cell into 3-dimensional space has the following structure: The projection envelope is a truncated octahedron. The 6 square faces of the envelope are the images of 6 of the octahedral cells.
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 .
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 ...
Two of the truncated octahedra project onto a truncated octahedron lying in the center of the envelope. Six cuboidal volumes join the square faces of this central truncated octahedron to the center of the octagonal faces of the great rhombicuboctahedron. These are the images of 12 of the cubical cells, a pair of cells to each image.
This honeycomb can be alternated, creating pyritohedral icosahedra from the truncated octahedra with disphenoid tetrahedral cells created in the gaps. There are three constructions from three related Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams: , , and . These have symmetry [4,3 +,4], [4,(3 1,1) +] and [3 [4]] + respectively.
Vertex figures for single-ringed Coxeter diagrams can be constructed from the diagram by removing the ringed node, and ringing neighboring nodes. Such vertex figures are themselves vertex-transitive. Multiringed polytopes can be constructed by a slightly more complicated construction process, and their topology is not a uniform polytope.
