Generalized Waterman Polyhedron from polyhedral packs

the general series are defined as -
The convex hull of the intersection of a closed ball with the lattice(s) of a space filler grouping swept from symmetrically biased locations; polyhedral center, edge mid-point, vertex or face center.
A Generalized Waterman polyhedron, includes any related lattice structuring, wherein pertinent all space fillers become employed to establish a common/combined lattice point set. This Generalized approach is currently able to be manifested and viewed by Antiprism...written by Adrian Rossiter

over 60 different unlimited series of Waterman polyhedron

Generalized Waterman polyhedron derived from integer based grids.

39coordinate points used for sweep analysis

red points extend from 0,0,0 to 2,2,2 - each block is therefore a length of 2

Antiprism itself is a collection of programs that facilitates numerous techniques, like weaves and conversion and merging abilities as well as a viewer. It is also free as well as being extremely versatile.
