In eight-dimensional geometry, a truncated 8-simplex is a convex uniform 8-polytope, being a truncation of the regular 8-simplex.

There are four unique degrees of truncation. Vertices of the truncation 8-simplex are located as pairs on the edge of the 8-simplex. Vertices of the bitruncated 8-simplex are located on the triangular faces of the 8-simplex. Vertices of the tritruncated 8-simplex are located inside the tetrahedral cells of the 8-simplex.

Coordinates

The Cartesian coordinates of the vertices of the truncated 8-simplex can be most simply positioned in 9-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the truncated 9-orthoplex.
