The tetrahemihexacron is the dual of the tetrahemihexahedron. Because the latter polyhedron has three faces going through its middle, three of the tetrahemihexacron's vertices are at an ideal points infinitely far away from the origin (in projective space). This is usually represented in images and models by prisms extending an arbitrarily long distance.
