tetratruncated?

[edit]

How can this polyhedron be considered a truncated rhombic dodecahedron when not all the vertices are truncated? Shouldn't this be called a tetratruncated rhombic dodecahedron since only the vertices with four attached edges are truncated? Kittenono (talk) 17:00, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is a note about that fact. tetratruncated would be a good name, but it hasn't been defined anywhere I've seen. The ambiguous truncated term is in use, like [1]. The Conway polyhedron notation supports vertex-ordered truncation. (The kis operator is ordered, like Tetrakis hexahedron divides order-four faces into triangles) Tom Ruen (talk) 02:00, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
