Triangular tiling honeycomb Triangular tiling honeycomb The triangular tiling honeycomb is one of 11 paracompact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs) in hyperbolic 3-space. It is called "paracompact" because it has infinite cells and vertex figures, with all vertices as ideal points at infinity. It has Schläfli symbol {3,6,3}, being composed of triangular tiling cells. Each edge of the honeycomb is surrounded by three cells, and each vertex is ideal with infinitely many cells meeting there. Its vertex figure is a hexagonal tiling. It has two lower reflective symmetry constructions, as an alternated order-6 hexagonal tiling honeycomb, ↔ , and as from , which
Cubic honeycomb Cubic honeycomb The cubic honeycomb or cubic cellulation is the only regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space, made up of cubic cells. It has 4 cubes around every edge, and 8 cubes around each vertex. Its vertex figure is a regular octahedron. It is a self-dual tessellation with Schläfli symbol {4,3,4}. John Horton Conway calls this honeycomb a cubille. The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices are: It is part of a multidimensional family of hypercube honeycombs, with Schläfli symbols of the form {4,3...,3,4}, starting with the square tiling, {4,4} in the plane. It is one of 28 uniform
