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.

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.
