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

There are unique 4 degrees of cantellation for the 6-simplex, including truncations. Template:Clear

Cantellated 6-simplex

Cantellated 6-simplex
Type	uniform 6-polytope
Schläfli symbol	rr{3,3,3,3,3} or $r\left\{\begin{array}{c}3,3,3,3\\ 3\end{array}\right\}$
Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams	Template:CDD Template:CDD
5-faces	35
4-faces	210
Cells	560
Faces	805
Edges	525
Vertices	105
Vertex figure	5-cell prism
Coxeter group	A6, [35], order 5040
Properties	convex

Alternate names

• Small rhombated heptapeton (Acronym: sril) (Jonathan Bowers)

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

Bicantellated 6-simplex

Properties	convex

Alternate names

• Small prismated heptapeton (Acronym: sabril) (Jonathan Bowers)

Coordinates

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

Cantitruncated 6-simplex

cantitruncated 6-simplex
Type	uniform 6-polytope

Alternate names

• Great rhombated heptapeton (Acronym: gril) (Jonathan Bowers)

Coordinates

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