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.
