| In [[geometry]], the '''kisrhombille tiling''' or '''3-6 kisrhombille tiling''' is a tiling of the Euclidean plane. It is constructed by congruent 30-60 degree [[right triangle]]s with 4, 6, and 12 triangles meeting at each vertex.
| |
| | |
| == Construction from rhombille tiling ==
| |
| [[John Horton Conway|Conway]] calls it a '''kisrhombille'''<ref>John H. Conway, Heidi Burgiel, Chaim Goodman-Strass, ''The Symmetries of Things'' 2008, ISBN 978-1-56881-220-5 [http://www.akpeters.com/product.asp?ProdCode=2205] (Chapter 21, Naming Archimedean and Catalan polyhedra and tilings, p288 table)</ref> for his [[Conway kis operator|kis]] vertex bisector operation applied to the [[rhombille tiling]]. More specifically it can be called a '''3-6 kisrhombille''', to distinguish it from other similar hyperbolic tilings, like [[3-7 kisrhombille]].
| |
| [[File:Rhombic star tiling.png|150px|thumb|left|The related [[rhombille tiling]] becomes the kisrhombille by subdivding the rhombic faces on it axes into four triangle faces]]
| |
| | |
| It can be seen as an equilateral [[hexagonal tiling]] with each hexagon divided into 12 triangles from the center point. (Alternately it can be seen as a bisected [[triangular tiling]] divided into 6 triangles, or as an infinite [[arrangement of lines]] in six parallel families.)
| |
| | |
| It is labeled V4.6.12 because each right triangle face has three types of vertices: one with 4 triangles, one with 6 triangles, and one with 12 triangles.
| |
| | |
| ==Dual tiling==
| |
| It is the dual tessellation of the [[truncated trihexagonal tiling]] which has one square and one hexagon and one dodecagon at each vertex.
| |

| |
| | |
| == Related polyhedra and tilings ==
| |
| The ''kisrhombille tiling'' is a part of a set of uniform dual tilings, corresponding to the dual of the truncated trihexagonal tiling.
| |
| {{Hexagonal tiling table}}
| |
| | |
| It is also topologically related to a polyhedra sequence defined by the [[face configuration]] ''V4.6.2n''. This group is special for having all even number of edges per vertex and form bisecting planes through the polyhedra and infinite lines in the plane, and continuing into the hyperbolic plane for any <math>n \ge 7.</math>
| |
| | |
| With an even number of faces at every vertex, these polyhedra and tilings can be shown by alternating two colors so all adjacent faces have different colors.
| |
| | |
| Each face on these domains also corresponds to the fundamental domain of a [[symmetry group]] with order 2,3,n mirrors at each triangle face vertex.

| |
| | |
| == Practical uses ==
| |
| | |
| The ''kisrhombille tiling'' is a useful starting point for making paper models of [[deltahedron|deltahedra]], as each of the equilateral triangles can serve as faces, the edges of which adjoin isosceles triangles that can serve as tabs for gluing the model together.{{fact|date=January 2013}}
