The rectangular frustum or rectif is a variant of the cube with digonal pyramidal symmetry. It has 2 opposite rectangles of different sizes as bases connected by 2+2 isosceles trapezoids in 2 pairs.

In vertex figures[edit | edit source]

A rectangular frustum with one base a square of edge length 1, the other base a rectangle with edge lengths and , and lacing edges of length occurs as the vertex figure of the antifrustary hexacositrishecatonicosachoron.
