Omnitruncated 7-simplex honeycomb
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.
