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 .
Tetragonal disphenoid honeycomb edge. It can be seen as a cubic honeycomb with each cube subdivided by a center point into 6 square pyramid cells. The original cubic honeycomb walls are removed, joining pairs of square pyramids into square bipyramids (octahedra). Its vertex and edge framework is identical to the hexakis cubic honeycomb. There is one type of plane with faces: a flattended triangular tiling with half of the triangles as "holes". These cut face-diagonally through the original cubes. There are also square tiling plane that exist as nonface "holes" passing through the centers of the octahedral cells. It is dual to the
