Truncated 6-simplexes

Alternate names

• Truncated heptapeton (Acronym: til) (Jonathan Bowers)

Coordinates

The vertices of the truncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the truncated 7-orthoplex.

Alternate names

• Bitruncated heptapeton (Acronym: batal) (Jonathan Bowers)

Coordinates

The vertices of the bitruncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,1,2,2). This construction is based on facets of the bitruncated 7-orthoplex.

The tritruncated 6-simplex is an isotopic uniform polytope, with 14 identical bitruncated 5-simplex facets.

The tritruncated 6-simplex is the intersection of two 6-simplexes in dual configuration: and .

Alternate names

• Tetradecapeton (as a 14-facetted 6-polytope) (Acronym: fe) (Jonathan Bowers)

Coordinates

The vertices of the tritruncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,0,1,2,2,2). This construction is based on facets of the bitruncated 7-orthoplex. Alternately it can be centered on the origin as permutations of (-1,-1,-1,0,1,1,1).
