In seven-dimensional geometry, a cantellated 7-simplex is a convex uniform 7-polytope, being a cantellation of the regular 7-simplex.
There are unique 6 degrees of cantellation for the 7-simplex, including truncations.
Cantellated 7-simplex
Alternate names
- Small rhombated octaexon (acronym: saro) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The vertices of the cantellated 7-simplex can be most simply positioned in 8-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,1,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the cantellated 8-orthoplex.

Bicantellated 7-simplex
Alternate names
- Small birhombated octaexon (acronym: sabro) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The vertices of the bicantellated 7-simplex can be most simply positioned in 8-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,1,1,2,2). This construction is based on facets of the bicantellated 8-orthoplex.

Tricantellated 7-simplex
Alternate names
- Small trirhombihexadecaexon (stiroh) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The vertices of the tricantellated 7-simplex can be most simply positioned in 8-space as permutations of (0,0,0,1,1,2,2,2). This construction is based on facets of the tricantellated 8-orthoplex.

Cantitruncated 7-simplex
Alternate names
- Great rhombated octaexon (acronym: garo) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The vertices of the cantitruncated 7-simplex can be most simply positioned in 8-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,1,2,3). This construction is based on facets of the cantitruncated 8-orthoplex.

Bicantitruncated 7-simplex
Alternate names
- Great birhombated octaexon (acronym: gabro) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The vertices of the bicantitruncated 7-simplex can be most simply positioned in 8-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,1,2,3,3). This construction is based on facets of the bicantitruncated 8-orthoplex.

Tricantitruncated 7-simplex
Alternate names
- Great trirhombihexadecaexon (acronym: gatroh) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The vertices of the tricantitruncated 7-simplex can be most simply positioned in 8-space as permutations of (0,0,0,1,2,3,4,4). This construction is based on facets of the tricantitruncated 8-orthoplex.
