In seven-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the omnitruncated 7-simplex honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). It is composed entirely of omnitruncated 7-simplex facets.

The facets of all omnitruncated simplectic honeycombs are called permutahedra and can be positioned in n+1 space with integral coordinates, permutations of the whole numbers (0,1,..,n).

A7* lattice

The A*
7
lattice (also called A8
7
) is the union of eight A7 lattices, and has the vertex arrangement to the dual honeycomb of the omnitruncated 7-simplex honeycomb, and therefore the Voronoi cell of this lattice is an omnitruncated 7-simplex.

= dual of .

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:
