In geometry, a rhombic hectotriadiohedron, rhombhectotriadiohedron,[1] rhombic 132-hedron, or equilateral dodecazonohedron[2] is a polyhedron composed of 132 rhombic faces. Rhombic faces have five positions within octahedral symmetry.[2] There are two topological types, with the same number of elements and the same symmetry but with a somewhat different arrangement of rhombic faces.[1]

There are two types of rhombic hectotridiohedron: the type T and C. The type T has eight rhombi meeting at the center of a cube's six faces. The three meet at the 8 corners of a cube. The twelve are positioned along the twelve edges of a cube, and four more surround each of the twelve edges of a cube. This polyhedron is a 12-zone zonohedrification[3] of the rhombicuboctahedron.[4] The type C is a 12-zone zonohedrification of a truncated cube.
