Regular dodecahedron an edge length of one unit has the properties: The "regular dodecahedron " has two special orthogonal projections, centered, on vertices and pentagonal faces, correspond to the A and H Coxeter planes. In perspective projection, viewed above a pentagonal face, the regular dodecahedron can be seen as a linear-edged Schlegel diagram, or stereographic projection as a spherical polyhedron. These projections are also used in showing the four-dimensional 120-cell, a regular 4-dimensional polytope, constructed from 120 dodecahedra, projecting it down to 3-dimensions. The regular dodecahedron can also be represented as a spherical tiling. The following Cartesian coordinates define the 20 vertices
Dodecahedron of the wedge-shaped "roof" above the faces of the cube. When "h" = 1, the six cross-edges degenerate to points and a rhombic dodecahedron is formed. When "h" = 0, the cross-edges are absorbed in the facets of the cube, and the pyritohedron reduces to a cube. When "h" = , the multiplicative inverse of the golden ratio, the result is a regular dodecahedron. When "h" = , the conjugate of this value, the result is a regular great stellated dodecahedron. A reflected pyritohedron is made by swapping the nonzero coordinates above. The two pyritohedra can be superimposed to give
