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
Rhombic dodecahedron The "rhombic dodecahedron" has four special orthogonal projections along its axes of symmetry, centered on a face, an edge, and the two types of vertex, threefold and fourfold. The last two correspond to the B and A Coxeter planes. The eight vertices where three faces meet at their obtuse angles have Cartesian coordinates: The coordinates of the six vertices where four faces meet at their acute angles are: The rhombic dodecahedron can be seen as a degenerate limiting case of a pyritohedron, with permutation of coordinates and with parameter "h" = 1. The "rhombic dodecahedron" is a parallelohedron, a space-filling
