Geometry

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.


Poincaré disk model

Ideal surface

It has a second construction as a uniform honeycomb, Schläfli symbol {3,61,1}, Coxeter diagram, , with alternating types or colors of triangular tiling cells. In Coxeter notation the half symmetry is [3,6,4,1+] = [3,61,1].

It a part of a sequence of regular polychora and honeycombs with triangular tiling cells: {3,6,p}
