In six-dimensional geometry, a cantellated 6-orthoplex is a convex uniform 6-polytope, being a cantellation of the regular 6-orthoplex.

There are 8 cantellation for the 6-orthoplex including truncations. Half of them are more easily constructed from the dual 5-cube

Construction

There are two Coxeter groups associated with the cantellated 6-orthoplex, one with the B₆ or [4,3,3,3,3] Coxeter group, and a lower symmetry with the D₆ or [3^3,1,1] Coxeter group.

Coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the 480 vertices of a cantellated 6-orthoplex, centered at the origin, are all the sign and coordinate permutations of
