In 5-dimensional geometry, there are 23 uniform polytopes with D₅ symmetry, 8 are unique, and 15 are shared with the B₅ symmetry. There are two special forms, the 5-orthoplex, and 5-demicube with 10 and 16 vertices respectively.

They can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the D₅ Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 8 polytopes can be made in the D₅, D₄, D₃, A₃, Coxeter planes. A_k has [k+1] symmetry, D_k has [2(k-1)] symmetry. The B₅ plane is included, with only half the [10] symmetry displayed.

These 8 polytopes are each shown in these 5 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
