List of B6 polytopes

Orthographic projections in the B₆ Coxeter plane
6-cube	6-orthoplex	6-demicube

In 6-dimensional geometry, there are 64 uniform polytopes with B₆ symmetry. There are two regular forms, the 6-orthoplex, and 6-cube with 12 and 64 vertices respectively. The 6-demicube is added with half the symmetry.

They can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the B₆ Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 64 polytopes can be made in the B₆, B₅, B₄, B₃, B₂, A₅, A₃, Coxeter planes. A_k has [k+1] symmetry, and B_k has [2k] symmetry.

These 64 polytopes are each shown in these 8 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
