Order-6-4 triangular honeycomb – Wikipedia

In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-6-4 triangular honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {3,6,4}.

Geometry[edit]

It has four triangular tiling {3,6} around each edge. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with infinitely many triangular tilings existing around each vertex in an order-4 hexagonal tiling vertex arrangement.

It has a second construction as a uniform honeycomb, Schläfli symbol {3,6^1,1}, Coxeter diagram, , with alternating types or colors of triangular tiling cells. In Coxeter notation the half symmetry is [3,6,4,1⁺] = [3,6^1,1].
