In six-dimensional geometry, a runcinated 6-simplex is a convex uniform 6-polytope constructed as a runcination (3rd order truncations) of the regular 6-simplex.

There are 8 unique runcinations of the 6-simplex with permutations of truncations, and cantellations.

Alternate names

Small prismated heptapeton (Acronym: spil) (Jonathan Bowers)

Runcinated 6-simplexes

Coordinates

The vertices of the runcinated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,0,1,1,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the runcinated 7-orthoplex.

Biruncinated 6-simplex

Alternate names

Coordinates

The vertices of the biruncinted 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,1,1,1,2,2). This construction is based on facets of the biruncinated 7-orthoplex.

Runcitruncated 6-simplex

Alternate names

Prismatotruncated heptapeton (Acronym: patal) (Jonathan Bowers)

Coordinates

The vertices of the runcitruncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,0,1,1,2,3). This construction is based on facets of the runcitruncated 7-orthoplex.

Alternate names

Biprismatorhombated heptapeton (Acronym: bapril) (Jonathan Bowers)

Coordinates

The vertices of the biruncitruncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,1,1,2,3,3). This construction is based on facets of the biruncitruncated 7-orthoplex.
