In seven-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the cyclotruncated 7-simplex honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). The tessellation fills space by 7-simplex, truncated 7-simplex, bitruncated 7-simplex, and tritruncated 7-simplex facets. These facet types occur in proportions of 1:1:1:1 respectively in the whole honeycomb.

Structure

It can be constructed by eight sets of parallel hyperplanes that divide space. The hyperplane intersections generate cyclotruncated 6-simplex honeycomb divisions on each hyperplane.

This honeycomb is one of 29 unique uniform honeycombs constructed by the A ~ 7 Coxeter group, grouped by their extended symmetry of rings within the regular octagon diagram:
