Description

The truncated octahedron is one of the thirteen Archimedean solids.

The truncated octahedron has 24 vertices, 14 faces and 36 edges. It is generated by truncating the vertices of a octahedron at 1/3 edge-length. Here the distance from vertex to center point is scaled to 1; the edge-length is sqrt(2/5).
