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
Expanded cuboctahedron prisms. If the central rhombic dodecahedron and the 12 rhombic prisms are removed, you can create a toroidal polyhedron with all regular polygon faces. This toroid has 86 faces (8 triangles and 78 squares), 168 edges, and 62 vertices. 14 of the 62 vertices are on the interior, defining the removed central rhombic dodecahedron. With Euler characteristic χ = f + v - e = -20, its genus, g = (2-χ)/2 is 11. Expanded cuboctahedron The expanded cuboctahedron is a polyhedron, constructed as a expanded cuboctahedron. It has 50 faces: 8 triangles, 30 squares, and 12 rhombs. The 48 vertices
