The heptagonal-dodecagonal duoprism or hetwadip, also known as the 7-12 duoprism, is a uniform duoprism that consists of 7 dodecagonal prisms and 12 heptagonal prisms, with two of each joining at each vertex.

Vertex coordinates

The coordinates of a heptagonal-dodecagonal duoprism, centered at the origin and with edge length 2sin(π/7), are given by:

• $\left(1,0,\pm \left(1+{\sqrt {3}}\right)\sin {\frac {\pi }{7}},\pm \left(1+{\sqrt {3}}\right)\sin {\frac {\pi }{7}}\right)$,
• $\left(1,0,\pm \sin {\frac {\pi }{7}},\pm \left(2+{\sqrt {3}}\right)\sin {\frac {\pi }{7}}\right)$,
• $\left(1,0,\pm \left(2+{\sqrt {3}}\right)\sin {\frac {\pi }{7}},\pm \sin {\frac {\pi }{7}}\right)$,
• $\left(\cos \left({\frac {j\pi }{7}}\right),\pm \sin \left({\frac {j\pi }{7}}\right),\pm \left(1+{\sqrt {3}}\right)\sin {\frac {\pi }{7}},\pm \left(1+{\sqrt {3}}\right)\sin {\frac {\pi }{7}}\right)$,
• $\left(\cos \left({\frac {j\pi }{7}}\right),\pm \sin \left({\frac {j\pi }{7}}\right),\pm \sin {\frac {\pi }{7}},\pm \left(2+{\sqrt {3}}\right)\sin {\frac {\pi }{7}}\right)$,
• $\left(\cos \left({\frac {j\pi }{7}}\right),\pm \sin \left({\frac {j\pi }{7}}\right),\pm \left(2+{\sqrt {3}}\right)\sin {\frac {\pi }{7}},\pm \sin {\frac {\pi }{7}}\right)$,

where j = 2, 4, 6.

Representations
