Cross polytope

A cross-polytope or orthoplex is a shape constructed by repeatedly taking the bipyramid of a point. Each hypercube has four simplices of the lower dimension surrounding each peak (e.g. an octahedron has four triangles around each vertex, a hexadecachoron has three tetrahedra around each vertex).
