D7 polytope

In 7-dimensional geometry, there are 95 uniform polytopes with D7 symmetry, 32 are unique, and 63 are shared with the B7 symmetry. There are two regular forms, the 7-orthoplex, and 7-demicube with 14 and 64 vertices respectively.

They can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the D6 Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 32 polytopes can be made in the D7, D6, D5, D4, D3, A5, A3, Coxeter planes. Ak has [k+1] symmetry, Dk has [2(k-1)] symmetry. B7 is also included although only half of its [14] symmetry exists in these polytopes.

These 32 polytopes are each shown in these 8 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
