Orthographic projection
Orthographic projection
Orthographic projection is a means of representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions. It is a form of parallel projection, where all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface...

Geometry

Geometry arose as the field of knowledge dealing with spatial relationships. Geometry was one of the two fields of pre-modern mathematics, the other being the study of numbers ....

, there are 64 uniform polytopes with B₆ symmetry. There are two regular forms, the 6-orthoplex, and 6-cube with 12 and 64 vertices respectively. The 6-demicube is added with half the symmetry.

They can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projection

Orthographic projection

s of these 64 polytopes can be made in the B₆, B₅, B₄, B₃, B₂, A₅, A₃, Coxeter planes. A_k has [k+1] symmetry, and B_k has [2k] symmetry.

These 64 polytopes are each shown in these 8 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
