The 5-orthoplex, also called the pentacross, triacontaditeron, tac, or square-octahedral duotegum, is a regular 5-polytope. It has 32 regular pentachora as facets, joining 16 to a vertex in a hexadecachoral arrangement. It is the 5-dimensional orthoplex.

It can also be seen as a convex segmentoteron, as a pentachoric antiprism. It is also the hexadecachoric tegum.

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

The vertices of a regular 5-orthoplex of edge length 1, centered at the origin, are given by all permutations of:

The regiment of the 5-orthoplex contains 4 uniform members, including itself, one with D5 symmetry (the hexadecahemidecateron), and 2 with pentachoric antiprism symmetry (the pentachoric hemiantiprism and spinopentachoric hemiantiprism). There are also 2 scaliform members known with 5-2 step prism alterprismatic symmetry.
