Cantellation (geometry) — In geometry, a cantellation is an operation in any dimension that cuts a regular polytope edges and vertices, creating a new facet in place of each edge and vertex. The operation also applies to regular tilings and honeycombs.It is represented by … Wikipedia
Uniform polytope — A uniform polytope is a vertex transitive polytope made from uniform polytope facets. A uniform polytope must also have only regular polygon faces.Uniformity is a generalization of the older category semiregular, but also includes the regular… … Wikipedia
Omnitruncation — In geometry, an omnitruncation is an operation applied to a regular polytope (or honeycomb) in a Wythoff construction that creates a maximum number of facets. It is represented in a Coxeter–Dynkin diagram with all nodes ringed. It is a shortcut… … Wikipedia

Runcination — In geometry, a runcination is an operation that cuts a regular polytope (or honeycomb) simultaneously along the faces, edges and vertices, creating new facets in place of the original face, edge, and vertex centers.It is a higher order truncation … Wikipedia
Uniform tiling — In geometry, a uniform tiling is a tessellation of the plane by regular polygon faces with the restriction of being vertex uniform.Uniform tilings can exist in both the Euclidean plane and hyperbolic plane. Uniform tilings are related to the… … Wikipedia
