The rectified dodecagonal duoprism or retwadip is a convex isogonal polychoron that consists of 24 rectified dodecagonal prisms and 144 tetragonal disphenoids. 3 rectified dodecagonal prisms and 2 tetragonal disphenoids join at each vertex. It can be formed by rectifying the dodecagonal duoprism.

It can also be formed as the convex hull of 2 oppositely oriented semi-uniform dodecagonal duoprisms, where the edges of one dodecagon are times as long as the edges of the other.

Using the ratio method, the lowest possible ratio between the longest and shortest edges is 1: ≈ 1:1.36603.
