In
Euclidean geometry,
rectification or
complete-truncation is the process of truncating a
polytope by marking the midpoints of all its edges, and cutting off its vertices at those points. The resulting polytope will be bounded by
vertex figure facets and the rectified facets of the original polytope. A rectification operator is given a letter-symbol
r, like
r{4,3} is a rectified cube, being a cuboctahedron.
