The edge-snub trihexagonal prismatic honeycomb is an isogonal honeycomb that consists of ditrigonal trapezoprisms, triangular gyroprisms, and wedges. 2 ditrigonal trapezoprisms, 2 triangular gyroprisms, and 6 wedges join at each vertex. It can be obtained as a subsymmetrical faceting of the great rhombitrihexagonal prismatic honeycomb, faceting the dodecagons into ditrigons. However, it cannot be made uniform.

The sectioning facet underneath the alternatingly omitted edge of the prismatic pre-image honeycomb clearly is bistratic (the biwedge), which are subdivided into two wedges.

Using the ratio method, the lowest possible ratio between the longest and shortest edges is 1:a ≈ 1:1.32682, where a is the second largest real root of 7x4-10x3-10x2+10x+6.
