3D model of a cubohemioctahedron

In geometry, the cubohemioctahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U15. It has 10 faces (6 squares and 4 regular hexagons), 24 edges and 12 vertices. [1] Its vertex figure is a crossed quadrilateral.

It is given Wythoff symbol 43 4 | 3, although that is a double-covering of this figure.

A nonconvex polyhedron has intersecting faces which do not represent new edges or faces. In the picture vertices are marked by golden spheres, and edges by silver cylinders.

It is a hemipolyhedron with 4 hexagonal faces passing through the model center. The hexagons intersect each other and so only triangular portions of each are visible.

It shares the vertex arrangement and edge arrangement with the cuboctahedron (having the square faces in common), and with the octahemioctahedron (having the hexagonal faces in common).

Tetrahexagonal tiling

The cubohemioctahedron can be seen as a net on the hyperbolic tetrahexagonal tiling with vertex figure 4.6.4.6.

dual polyhedron Cubohemioctahedron

The hexahemioctacron is the dual of the cubohemioctahedron, and is one of nine dual hemipolyhedra. It appears visually indistinct from the octahemioctacron.

Since the cubohemioctahedron has four hexagonal faces passing through the model center, thus it is degenerate, and can be seen as having four vertices at infinity.

In Magnus Wenninger's Dual Models, they are represented with intersecting infinite prisms passing through the model center, cut off at a certain point that is convenient for the maker.
