In geometry, a truncated cuboctahedral prism or great rhombicuboctahedral prism is a convex uniform polychoron (four-dimensional polytope).

Contents

It is one of 18 convex uniform polyhedral prisms created by using uniform prisms to connect pairs of Platonic solids or Archimedean solids in parallel hyperplanes.

Alternative names

A full snub cubic antiprism or omnisnub cubic antiprism can be defined as an alternation of a truncated cuboctahedral prism, represented by ht0,1,2,3{4,3,2}, or CDel node h.pngCDel 4.pngCDel node h.pngCDel 3.pngCDel node h.pngCDel 2x.pngCDel node h.png, although it cannot be constructed as a uniform polychoron. It has 76 cells: 2 snub cubes connected by 12 tetrahedrons, 6 square antiprisms, and 8 octahedrons, with 48 tetrahedrons in the alternated gaps. There are 48 vertices, 192 edges, and 220 faces (12 squares, and 16+192 triangles). It has [4,3,2]+ symmetry, order 48.

A construction exists with two uniform snub cubes in snub positions with two edge lengths in a ratio of around 1 : 1.138.

Also related is the bialternatosnub octahedral hosochoron, constructed by removing alternating long rectangles from the octagons, but is also not uniform. It has 40 cells: 2 rhombicuboctahedra (with Th symmetry), 6 rectangular trapezoprisms (topologically equivalent to a cube but with D2d symmetry), 8 octahedra (as triangular antiprisms), 24 triangular prisms (as Cs-symmetry wedges) filling the gaps, and 48 vertices. It has [4,(3,2)+] symmetry, order 48. Its vertex figure is a chiral hexahedron topologically identical to the tetragonal antiwedge.

In geometry, the rhombicuboctahedron, or small rhombicuboctahedron, is a polyhedron with eight triangular, six square, and twelve rectangular faces. There are 24 identical vertices, with one triangle, one square, and two rectangles meeting at each one. If all the rectangles are themselves square, it is an Archimedean solid. The polyhedron has octahedral symmetry, like the cube and octahedron. Its dual is called the deltoidal icositetrahedron or trapezoidal icositetrahedron, although its faces are not really true trapezoids.
