Runcinated 6-cubes

In six-dimensional geometry, a runcinated 6-cube is a convex uniform 6-polytope with 3rd order truncations (runcination) of the regular 6-cube.

Orthogonal projections in B6 Coxeter plane

There are 12 unique runcinations of the 6-cube with permutations of truncations, and cantellations. Half are expressed relative to the dual 6-orthoplex.
