 6-cube |
 6-orthoplex |
 6-demicube |
In 6-dimensional geometry, there are 64 uniform polytopes with B6 symmetry. There are two regular forms, the 6-orthoplex, and 6-cube with 12 and 64 vertices respectively. The 6-demicube is added with half the symmetry.
They can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the B6 Coxeter group, and other subgroups.
Graphs
editSymmetric orthographic projections of these 64 polytopes can be made in the B6, B5, B4, B3, B2, A5, A3, Coxeter planes. Ak has [k+1] symmetry, and Bk has [2k] symmetry.
These 64 polytopes are each shown in these 8 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
