The great rotational 8-3 double step prism is a convex isogonal polychoron that consists of 16 sphenoids, 32 phyllic disphenoids of three kinds and 32 irregular tetrahedra of two kinds. 4 sphenoids, 8 phyllic disphenoids and 8 irregular tetrahedra join at each vertex. It can be obtained as one of several polychora formed as the convex hull of two orthogonal 8-3 step prisms.

This polychoron cannot be optimized using the ratio method, because the solutions lead to degenerate polytopes or the tesseract instead.
