An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. Some simple octahedra are
- a regular octahedron (also known as a square-based dipyramid or triangular antiprism)
- heptagon-based pyramid
- hexagon-based prism.
So an octahedron is not a single shape. Furthermore, each of these can be distorted by stretching and skewing. So there will be the 257 basic drawings plus many more variants.

Why is a truncated octahedron called a truncated octahedron?
Start with an octahedron in the form of a quadrilateral based dipyramid a regular octahedron is a special case of this). This shape has six vertices - chop these off so as to remove a quadrilateral based pyramid. You will be left with a truncated octahedron. It is an octahedron which has been truncated (shortened) by cutting off its extremities.
