Octahedral truncate (EntityTopic, 11)

From Hi.gher. Space

The octahedral truncate is a particular uniform polyhedron. It is special because it is one of only five regular-faced convex polyhedra that can tile the realm (the others being the cube, triangular prism, hexagonal prism and gyrobifastigium).
