This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of 5 truncated cubes, formed by truncating each of the cubes in the compound of 5 cubes. It is also called the truncated rhombihedron.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the cyclic permutations of

(±(2+√2), ±√2, ±(2+√2))

(±τ, ±(τ⁻¹+τ⁻¹√2), ±(2τ−1+τ√2))

(±1, ±(τ⁻²−τ⁻¹√2), ±(τ²+τ√2))

(±(1+√2), ±(−τ⁻²−√2), ±(τ²+√2))

(±(τ+τ√2), ±(−τ⁻¹), ±(2τ−1+τ⁻¹√2))

where τ = (1+√5)/2 is the golden ratio (sometimes written φ).
