In geometry, a rhombic hectotriadiohedron, rhombhectotriadiohedron or rhombic 132-hedron is a polyhedron composed of 132 rhombic faces. Rhombic faces have 5 positions within octahedral symmetry. There are two topological types, with the same number of elements, the same symmetry, but having a somewhat different arrangement of rhombic faces.[1]

The type T has 8 rhombi meeting at the center positions of a cube's 6 faces. 3 meet at the 8 corners of a cube. 12 are positioned along the 12 edges of a cube, and 4 more surround each of 12 edges of a cube. It is a 12-zone zonohedrification[2] of the rhombicuboctahedron.[3]

Type C is a 12-zone zonohedrification of a truncated cube.
