<p>The construction of some Archimedean solids begins from the Platonic solids. The <a href="Truncation_(geometry)" title="Truncation (geometry)">truncation</a> involves cutting away corners; to preserve symmetry, the cut is in a plane perpendicular to the line joining a corner to the center of the polyhedron and is the same for all corners, and an example can be found in <a href="Truncated_icosahedron" title="Truncated icosahedron">truncated icosahedron</a> constructed by cutting off all the <a href="Regular_icosahedron" title="Regular icosahedron">icosahedron</a>'s vertices, having the same symmetry as the icosahedron, the <a href="Icosahedral_symmetry" title="Icosahedral symmetry">icosahedral symmetry</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> If the truncation is exactly deep enough such that each pair of faces from adjacent vertices shares exactly one point, it is known as a <a href="Rectification_(geometry)" title="Rectification (geometry)">rectification</a>. <a href="Expansion_(geometry)" title="Expansion (geometry)">Expansion</a> involves moving each face away from the center (by the same distance to preserve the symmetry of the Platonic solid) and taking the convex hull. An example is the rhombicuboctahedron, which is constructed by separating the cube or octahedron's faces from their centroids and filling them with squares.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEVianaXavierAiresCampos20191123See_Fig._6_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEVianaXavierAiresCampos20191123See_Fig._6-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="Snub_(geometry)" title="Snub (geometry)">Snub</a> is a construction process of polyhedra by separating the polyhedron faces, twisting their faces in certain angles, and filling them up with <a href="Equilateral_triangle" title="Equilateral triangle">equilateral triangles</a>. Examples can be found in <a href="Snub_cube" title="Snub cube">snub cube</a> and <a href="Snub_dodecahedron" title="Snub dodecahedron">snub dodecahedron</a>.

For example, the <a href="Icosidodecahedron" title="Icosidodecahedron">icosidodecahedron</a> can be constructed by attaching two <a href="Pentagonal_rotunda" title="Pentagonal rotunda">pentagonal rotunda</a> bases-to-base, or a rhombicuboctahedron that can be constructed alternatively by attaching two <a href="Square_cupola" title="Square cupola">square cupolas</a> on the bases of an octagonal prism.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBerman1971_6-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBerman1971-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Kepler may have also found another solid known as <a href="Elongated_square_gyrobicupola" title="Elongated square gyrobicupola">elongated square gyrobicupola</a> or <i>pseudorhombicuboctahedron</i>. Kepler once stated that there were fourteen Archimedean solids, yet his published enumeration only includes the thirteen uniform polyhedra. The first clear statement of such solid existence was made by <a href="Duncan_Sommerville" title="Duncan Sommerville">Duncan Sommerville</a> in 1905.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEGrünbaum2009_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGrünbaum2009-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The solid appeared when some mathematicians mistakenly constructed the <a href="Rhombicuboctahedron" title="Rhombicuboctahedron">rhombicuboctahedron</a>: two <a href="Square_cupola" title="Square cupola">square cupolas</a> attached to the <a href="Octagonal_prism" title="Octagonal prism">octagonal prism</a>, with one of them rotated forty-five degrees.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The thirteen solids have the property of <a href="Vertex-transitive" class="mw-redirect" title="Vertex-transitive">vertex-transitive</a>, meaning any two vertices of those can be translated onto the other one, but the elongated square gyrobicupola does not. <a href="#CITEREFGrünbaum2009">Grünbaum (2009)</a> observed that it meets a weaker definition of an Archimedean solid, in which "identical vertices" means merely that the parts of the polyhedron near any two vertices look the same (they have the same shapes of faces meeting around each vertex in the same order and forming the same angles). Grünbaum pointed out a frequent error in which authors define Archimedean solids using some form of this local definition but omit the fourteenth polyhedron. If only thirteen polyhedra are to be listed, the definition must use global symmetries of the polyhedron rather than local neighborhoods. In the aftermath, the elongated square gyrobicupola was withdrawn from the Archimedean solids and included in the <a href="Johnson_solid" title="Johnson solid">Johnson solids</a> instead, a convex polyhedron in which all of the faces are regular polygons.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEGrünbaum2009_17-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGrünbaum2009-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
