Platonic
Tetrahedron	Cube	Octahedron	Dodecahedron	Icosahedron

			Stellated for support Looking down an axis	Double-size Double-size, looking down an axis

Archimedean Tetrahedron/Cube/Octahedron Family
Truncated Tetrahedron	Truncated Cube	Cubocta- hedron	Truncated Octahedron	Great Rhombi- cuboctahedron	Lesser Rhombi- cuboctahedron	Snub Cube

	Looking down an axis			Notice the purple lesser rhombicuboctahedron inside! Looking down on the hexagonal face Looking down on the octagonal face	Stellated for support Propped up on a point Looking down on the square face Looking down on the trianglar face

A tetrahedron is its own dual.				Interestingly, we pass through an octahedron on the way!				A tetrahedron is its own dual.
