Rhombicubeoctahedron

Author

Description

The rhombicubeoctahedron is one of the thirteen Archimedean solids.

The rhombicubeoctahedron has 24 vertices, 26 faces and 48 edges. It is generated by truncating the vertices and edges of a cube or of an octahedron. Here the distance from vertex to center point is scaled to 1; the edge-length is 2sqrt((5-2sqrt(2))/17) . Every vertex has two coordinates with the absolute value sqrt((5-2sqrt(2))/17) and one coordinate with the absolute value sqrt((7+4sqrt(2))/17).
