Description

The cubeoctahedron is one of the thirteen Archimedean solids.

The cubeoctahedron has 12 vertices, 14 faces and 24 edges. It is generated by truncating the vertices of a cube or of an octahedron at 1/2 edge-length. The cubeoctahedron is a semiregular polyhedron. Here the distance from vertex to center point is scaled to 1. Thus every vertex has one coordinate with the absolute value 0 and two coordinates with the absolute value sqrt(2) /2 ; the edge-length is 1.
