Video Description  Octahedron from 6 squares

An octahedron is a polyhedron with eight faces. A regular octahedron is a Platonic solid composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each vertex.

The truncated octahedron  is an Archimedean solid. It has 8 regular hexagonal faces, 6 regular square faces, 24 vertices and 36 edges. Since each of its faces has point symmetry the truncated octahedron is a zonohedron.
