Cubic-octahedral honeycomb Cubic-octahedral honeycomb In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the cube-octahedron honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from cube, octahedron, and cuboctahedron cells, in a rhombicuboctahedron vertex figure. It has a single-ring Coxeter diagram, , and is named by its two regular cells. Wide-angle perspective views: It contains a subgroup H2 tiling, the alternated order-4 hexagonal tiling, , with vertex figure (3.4). A lower symmetry form, index 6, of this honeycomb can be constructed with [(4,3,4,3)] symmetry, represented by a trigonal trapezohedron fundamental domain, and Coxeter diagram . This lower symmetry can be extended by restoring one mirror as .
Cubic honeycomb translational cube with vertices positioned: taking two corner, ne face center, and the cube center. The edge colors and labels specify how many cells exist around the edge. It is related to a skew apeirohedron with vertex configuration 4.4.6.6, with the octagons and some of the squares removed. It can be seen as constructed by augmenting truncated cuboctahedral cells, or by augmenting alternated truncated octahedra and cubes. The alternated cantitruncated cubic honeycomb or snub rectified cubic honeycomb contains three types of cells: snub cubes, icosahedra (snub tetrahedron), and tetrahedra. In addition the gaps created at the alternated vertices form tetrahedral
