In seven-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the omnitruncated 7-simplex honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). It is composed entirely of omnitruncated 7-simplex facets.

The facets of all omnitruncated simplectic honeycombs are called permutahedra and can be positioned in n+1 space with integral coordinates, permutations of the whole numbers (0,1,..,n).

A₇^* lattice

The A^*
₇ lattice (also called A⁸
₇) is the union of eight A₇ lattices, and has the vertex arrangement to the dual honeycomb of the omnitruncated 7-simplex honeycomb, and therefore the Voronoi cell of this lattice is an omnitruncated 7-simplex.

∪ ∪ ∪ ∪ ∪ ∪ ∪ = dual of .
