Compound of two snub cubes


This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of the 2 enantiomers of the snub cube. As a holosnub, it is represented by Schläfli symbol βr{4,3} and Coxeter diagram CDel node h3.pngCDel 4.pngCDel node h3.pngCDel 3.pngCDel node h3.png.

The vertex arrangement of this compound is shared by a convex nonuniform truncated cuboctahedron, having rectangular faces, alongside irregular hexagons and octagons, each alternating with two edge lengths.

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices are all the permutations of

where ξ is the real solution to

which can be written

or approximately 0.543689. ξ is the reciprocal of the tribonacci constant.

Equally, the tribonacci constant, t, just like the snub cube, can compute the coordinates as:

This compound can be seen as the union of the two chiral alternations of a truncated cuboctahedron:
