In geometry, a demihepteract or 7-demicube is a uniform 7-polytope, constructed from the 7-hypercube (hepteract) with alternated vertices truncated. It is part of a dimensionally infinite family of uniform polytopes called demihypercubes.

Coxeter named this polytope as 1₄₁ from its Coxeter diagram, with a ring on one of the 1-length branches, .

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a demihepteract centered at the origin are alternate halves of the hepteract:

(±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1,±1)

with an odd number of plus signs.
