In six-dimensional geometry, a runcinated 5-simplex is a convex uniform 5-polytope with 3rd order truncations (Runcination) of the regular 5-simplex.
There are 4 unique runcinations of the 5-simplex with permutations of truncations, and cantellations.
Runcinated 5-simplex
Alternate names
- Runcinated hexateron
- Small prismated hexateron (Acronym: spix) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The vertices of the runcinated 5-simplex can be most simply constructed on a hyperplane in 6-space as permutations of (0,0,1,1,1,2) or of (0,1,1,1,2,2), seen as facets of a runcinated 6-orthoplex, or a biruncinated 6-cube respectively.

Runcitruncated 5-simplex
Alternate names
- Runcitruncated hexateron
- Prismatotruncated hexateron (Acronym: pattix) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The coordinates can be made in 6-space, as 180 permutations of:
(0,0,1,1,2,3)
This construction exists as one of 64 orthant facets of the runcitruncated 6-orthoplex.

Runcicantellated 5-simplex
Alternate names
- Runcicantellated hexateron
- Biruncitruncated 5-simplex/hexateron
- Prismatorhombated hexateron (Acronym: pirx) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The coordinates can be made in 6-space, as 180 permutations of:
(0,0,1,2,2,3)
This construction exists as one of 64 orthant facets of the runcicantellated 6-orthoplex.

Runcicantitruncated 5-simplex
Alternate names
- Runcicantitruncated hexateron
- Great prismated hexateron (Acronym: gippix) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The coordinates can be made in 6-space, as 360 permutations of:
(0,0,1,2,3,4)
This construction exists as one of 64 orthant facets of the runcicantitruncated 6-orthoplex.

These polytopes are in a set of 19 uniform 5-polytopes based on the [3,3,3,3] Coxeter group, all shown here in A<sub>5</sub> Coxeter plane orthographic projections. (Vertices are colored by projection overlap order, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple having progressively more vertices)
