A polyhedron may have many faceted forms A faceted model has the same vertices as the original model, but different faces connecting them For example the tetrahemihexahedron is a faceted form of the octahedron Faceting is the dual operation to stellation Whereas stellation keeps the same facial planes, but changes the vertices, faceting keeps the same vertices, but changes the faces
