This uniform polyhedron compound is a symmetric arrangement of 3 square antiprisms, aligned with the three axes of 4-fold rotational symmetry of a cube.
Cartesian coordinates
Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the even permutations of
- (±√(√2+1), ±√(√2−1), ±1)
with an even number of minuses in the '±' choices, together with all the odd permutations with an odd number of minuses in the '±' choices.
