Octahedral prism

The octahedral prism or ope is a prismatic uniform polychoron that consists of 2 octahedra and 8 triangular prisms. Each vertex joins 1 octahedron and 4 tirangular prisms. As the name suggests, it is a prism based on the octahedron.

Vertex coordinates
Coordinates for the vertices of an octahedral prism of edge length 1 are given by all permutations and changes of sign of the first three coordinates, and all sign changes of the last coordinate of:


 * (0, 0, $\sqrt{2}$/2, 1/2).
