Great stellated dodecahedron of uniform polyhedra. Truncating edges down to points produces the great icosidodecahedron as a rectified great stellated dodecahedron. The process completes as a birectification, reducing the original faces down to points, and producing the great icosahedron. The truncated "great stellated dodecahedron" is a degenerate polyhedron, with 20 triangular faces from the truncated vertices, and 12 (hidden) pentagonal faces as truncations of the original pentagram faces, the latter forming a great dodecahedron inscribed within and sharing the edges of the icosahedron. Great stellated dodecahedron In geometry, the great stellated dodecahedron is a Kepler-Poinsot polyhedron, with Schläfli symbol {5/2,3}. It is one
Diminished rhombic dodecahedron a cuboctahedron. It retains 5 square faces, and 4 equilateral triangle faces of the cuboctahedron. The 13 Cartesian coordinate can be positioned as: Augmenting two opposite squares will create a dihedral rhombic dodecahedron, doubling the symmetry to "D" symmetry, order 16. Augmenting pyramids on all six square faces, with merged faces will produce a regular octahedron, restoring full octahedral symmetry, order 48. Diminished rhombic dodecahedron In geometry, a diminished rhombic dodecahedron is a rhombic dodecahedron with one or more vertices removed. This article describes diminishing one 4-valence vertex. This diminishment creates one new square face while 4 rhombic faces are
