| truncations by the vertices give the truncated tetrahedron, then the octahedron, then again the truncated tetrahedron, and the complete truncation again the tetrahedron | a truncation by the edges gives a chamfered tetrahedron with all edges equal, and the complete truncation the cube | truncations by the vertices and by the edges produce only one interesting polyhedron, the cuboctahedron
(the complete truncation gives again the tetrahedron) |
