The square-hexagonal duoprism or shiddip, also known as the 4-6 duoprism, is a uniform duoprism that consists of 4 hexagonal prisms and 6 cubes, with two of each joining at each vertex.s.

It is also a CRF segmentochoron, being hexagonal prism atop hexagonal prism. It is designated K-4.54 on Richard Klitzing's list. As It can thus be thought of as a prism based on the hexagonal prism.

This polychoron can be alternated into a digonal-triangular duoantiprism, although it cannot be made uniform.

Representations[edit | edit source]

A square-hexagonal duoprism has the following Coxeter diagrams:

  • x4o x6o () (full symmetry)
  • x x x6o () (G2×K2 symmetry, square as rectangle)
  • x3x x4o () (A2×B2 symmetry, hexagon as ditrigon)
  • x x x3x () (A2×K2 symmetry, both above combined
  • xx xx6oo&#x (G2×A1 axial, hexagonal prism prism)
