Pentellated 6-simplexes
In six-dimensional geometry, a pentellated 6-simplex is a convex uniform 6-polytope with 5th order truncations of the regular 6-simplex.

There are unique 10 degrees of pentellations of the 6-simplex with permutations of truncations, cantellations, runcinations, and sterications. The simple pentellated 6-simplex is also called an expanded 6-simplex, constructed by an expansion operation applied to the regular 6-simplex. The highest form, the pentisteriruncicantitruncated 6-simplex, is called an omnitruncated 6-simplex with all of the nodes ringed.

Coordinates 

The vertices of the pentellated 6-simplex can be positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,1,1,1,1,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the pentellated 7-orthoplex.

A second construction in 7-space, from the center of a rectified 7-orthoplex is given by coordinate permutations of:
 (1,-1,0,0,0,0,0)

Root vectors 

Its 42 vertices represent the root vectors of the simple Lie group A6. It is the vertex figure of the 6-simplex honeycomb.

Configuration
This configuration matrix represents the expanded 6-simplex, with 12 permutations of elements. The rows and columns correspond to vertices, edges, faces, cells, 4-faces and 5-faces. The diagonal numbers say how many of each element occur in the whole polytope. The nondiagonal numbers say how many of the column's element occur in or at the row's element.
