3-4-6-12 tiling | | Type | 2-uniform tiling | Vertex configuration | 3.4.6.4 and 4.6.12 | Symmetry | p6m, [6,3], (*632) | Rotation symmetry | p6, [6,3]+, (632) | Properties | 2-uniform, 4-isohedral, 4-isotoxal |
In geometry of the Euclidean plane, the 3-4-6-12 tiling is one of 20 2-uniform tilings of the Euclidean plane by regular polygons, containing regular triangles, squares, hexagons and dodecagons, arranged in two vertex configuration: 3.4.6.4 and 4.6.12.[1][2][3][4] It has hexagonal symmetry, p6m, [6,3], (*632). It is also called a demiregular tiling by some authors. GeometryIts two vertex configurations are shared with two 1-uniform tilings: rhombitrihexagonal tiling | truncated trihexagonal tiling | 3.4.6.4 | 4.6.12 |
It can be seen as a type of diminished rhombitrihexagonal tiling, with dodecagons replacing periodic sets of hexagons and surrounding squares and triangles. This is similar to the Johnson solid, a diminished rhombicosidodecahedron, which is a rhombicosidodecahedron with faces removed, leading to new decagonal faces. Related k-uniform tilings of regular polygonsThe hexagons can be dissected into 6 triangles, and the dodecagons can be dissected into triangles, hexagons and squares.

Dual tilingThe dual tiling has right triangle and kite faces, defined by face configurations: V3.4.6.4 and V4.6.12, and can be seen combining the deltoidal trihexagonal tiling and kisrhombille tilings. Dual tiling | V3.4.6.4
