In seven-dimensional geometry, a truncated 7-simplex is a convex uniform 7-polytope, being a truncation of the regular 7-simplex.
There are unique 3 degrees of truncation. Vertices of the truncation 7-simplex are located as pairs on the edge of the 7-simplex. Vertices of the bitruncated 7-simplex are located on the triangular faces of the 7-simplex. Vertices of the tritruncated 7-simplex are located inside the tetrahedral cells of the 7-simplex.

Alternate names[edit]
- Truncated octaexon (Acronym: toc) (Jonathan Bowers)[1]
Coordinates[edit]
The vertices of the truncated 7-simplex can be most simply positioned in 8-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,0,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the truncated 8-orthoplex.
