Full Truncation
The name truncated rhombic dodecahedron is ambiguous since only 6 vertices were truncated. A truncation on just the 3-vertices of the rhombic dodecahedron would cause an icosahedron with 12 equilateral hexagons and 20 triangles, forming 30 vertices in total; this figure's dual can be called the triakis cuboctahedron. Another alternate truncated rhombic dodecahedron can appear by truncating all 14 vertices, yielding 12 irregular octagonal faces. The dual of the full truncation is a triangular tetracontaoctahedron labeled the tritetrakis cuboctahedron, which is a complete Kleetope of the cuboctahedron. The tetrahedron is to the truncated cube as the cube is to the full truncation or a bitruncated cuboctahedron.
