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 .
Triangular prismatic honeycomb prisms can be combined to create gyrobifastigium cells. The resulting honeycomb is closely related but not equivalent: it has the same vertices and edges, but different two-dimensional faces and three-dimensional cells. <HR> The gyroelongated triangular prismatic honeycomb or elongated parasquare fastigial cellulation is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of cubes and triangular prisms in a ratio of 1:2. It is created by alternating layers of cubes and triangular prisms, with the prisms alternating in orientation by 90 degrees. It is related to the elongated triangular prismatic honeycomb which has the triangular prisms with
