In geometry, a 6-demicube or demihexteract is a uniform 6-polytope, constructed from a 6-cube (hexeract) with alternate vertices deleted. It is part of a dimensionally infinite family of uniform polytopes called demihypercubes.

Coxeter named this polytope as 131 from its Coxeter-Dynkin diagram, with a ring on one of the 1-length Coxeter-Dynkin diagram branches. It can named similarly by a 3-dimensional exponential Schläfli symbol, {3,33,1}.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a demihexeract centered at the origin are alternate halves of the hexeract:

(±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1)

with an odd number of plus signs.
