Compound of four triangular prisms

Polyhedral compound

This uniform polyhedron compound is a chiral symmetric arrangement of 4 triangular prisms, aligned with the axes of three-fold rotational symmetry of an octahedron.

Cartesian coordinates

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

(±1, ±(1+√2), ±(1−√2))

with an even number of minuses in the '±' choices, together with all the odd permutations with an odd number of minuses in the '±' choices.
