In four-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the bitruncated 16-cell honeycomb (or runcicantic tesseractic honeycomb) is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 4-space.

Symmetry constructions

edit

There are 3 different symmetry constructions, all with 3-3 duopyramid vertex figures. The   symmetry doubles on   in three possible ways, while   contains the highest symmetry.
