D7 polytope

In 7-dimensional geometry, there are 95 uniform polytopes with D₇ symmetry; 32 are unique, and 63 are shared with the B₇ symmetry. There are two regular forms, the 7-orthoplex, and 7-demicube with 14 and 64 vertices respectively.

Orthographic projections in the D₇ Coxeter plane
7-demicube	7-orthoplex

They can be visualized as symmetric orthographic projections in Coxeter planes of the D₆ Coxeter group, and other subgroups.

Graphs

Symmetric orthographic projections of these 32 polytopes can be made in the D₇, D₆, D₅, D₄, D₃, A₅, A₃, Coxeter planes. A_k has [k+1] symmetry, D_k has [2(k-1)] symmetry. B₇ is also included although only half of its [14] symmetry exists in these polytopes.

These 32 polytopes are each shown in these 8 symmetry planes, with vertices and edges drawn, and vertices colored by the number of overlapping vertices in each projective position.
