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

There are unique 4 degrees of cantellation for the 6-simplex, including truncations.

Cantellated 6-simplex

Cantellated 6-simplex
Type	uniform 6-polytope
Schläfli symbol	rr{3,3,3,3,3} or $r\left\{{\begin{array}{l}3,3,3,3\\3\end{array}}\right\}$
Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams
5-faces	35
4-faces	210
Cells	560
Faces	805
Edges	525
Vertices	105
Vertex figure	5-cell prism
Coxeter group	A₆, [3⁵], order 5040
Properties	convex

Alternate names

Small rhombated heptapeton (Acronym: sril) (Jonathan Bowers)^[1]

Coordinates

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