Great truncated icosidodecahedron
In geometry, the great truncated icosidodecahedron (or great quasitruncated icosidodecahedron or stellatruncated icosidodecahedron) is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U68. It has 62 faces (30 squares, 20 hexagons, and 12 decagrams), 180 edges, and 120 vertices.[1] It is given a Schläfli symbol t0,1,2{5⁄3,3}, and Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, .

Cartesian coordinates
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a great truncated icosidodecahedron centered at the origin are all the even permutations of
- (±τ, ±τ, ±(3−1/τ)),
- (±2τ, ±1/τ, ±τ−3),
- (±τ, ±1/τ2, ±(1+3/τ)),
- (±√5, ±2, ±√5/τ) and
- (±1/τ, ±3, ±2/τ),
where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio.

The great disdyakis triacontahedron (or trisdyakis icosahedron) is a nonconvex isohedral polyhedron. It is the dual of the great truncated icosidodecahedron. Its faces are triangles.
Proportions
The triangles have one angle of , one of and one of . The dihedral angle equals . Part of each triangle lies within the solid, hence is invisible in solid models.
