Truncated 24-cell honeycomb

In four-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the truncated 24-cell honeycomb is a uniform space-filling honeycomb. It can be seen as a truncation of the regular 24-cell honeycomb, containing tesseract and truncated 24-cell cells.

PropertiesVertex transitive

It has a uniform alternation, called the snub 24-cell honeycomb. It is a snub from the construction. This truncated 24-cell has Schläfli symbol t{31,1,1,1}, and its snub is represented as s{31,1,1,1}.

  • Bicantitruncated tesseractic honeycomb

Symmetry constructions

There are five different symmetry constructions of this tessellation. Each symmetry can be represented by different arrangements of colored truncated 24-cell facets. In all cases, four truncated 24-cells, and one tesseract meet at each vertex, but the vertex figures have different symmetry generators.
