Cantellated 6-cubes

In six-dimensional geometry, a cantellated 6-cube is a convex uniform 6-polytope, being a cantellation of the regular 6-cube.

Cantitruncated 6-cube	Bicantitruncated 6-cube		Bicantitruncated 6-orthoplex		Cantitruncated 6-orthoplex

There are 8 cantellations for the 6-cube, including truncations. Half of them are more easily constructed from the dual 5-orthoplex.
