In six-dimensional geometry, a truncated 6-simplex is a convex uniform 6-polytope, being a truncation of the regular 6-simplex.

There are unique 3 degrees of truncation. Vertices of the truncation 6-simplex are located as pairs on the edge of the 6-simplex. Vertices of the bitruncated 6-simplex are located on the triangular faces of the 6-simplex. Vertices of the tritruncated 6-simplex are located inside the tetrahedral cells of the 6-simplex.

Coordinates

The vertices of the truncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the truncated 7-orthoplex.

The tritruncated 6-simplex is an isotopic uniform polytope, with 14 identical bitruncated 5-simplex facets.

The tritruncated 6-simplex is the intersection of two 6-simplexes in dual configuration: File:CDel branch.pngFile:CDel 3ab.pngFile:CDel nodes.pngFile:CDel 3ab.pngFile:CDel nodes 10l.png and File:CDel branch.pngFile:CDel 3ab.pngFile:CDel nodes.pngFile:CDel 3ab.pngFile:CDel nodes 01l.png.

Coordinates

The vertices of the tritruncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,0,1,2,2,2). This construction is based on facets of the bitruncated 7-orthoplex. Alternately it can be centered on the origin as permutations of (-1,-1,-1,0,1,1,1).
