7-Directional Space Filling

3D Model

An array of polyhedra built with a 7 directional coordinate system.

The primary cell is a 42 faceted polar zonohedron with 7 zones. In the space filling array, These are connected at polar verteces like strings of beads. The original string is surrounded by a seven-fold array of cells, with the spaces between the primary cells filled with various subcells. Secondary cells are composed entirely of unit lengths

This array has full seven-fold rotational symmetry about it’s polar axis, and has seven planes of mirror symmetry intersecting the axis. Made with vZome.
