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.

The answer will depend on how many corners have been cut off in the truncation process.

You start with a quadrilateral based bipyramid, which has six vertices. At each vertex, remove the tip in the form of a quadrilateral based pyramid. You will be left with a truncated octahedron.
Some examples of solids are cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, pyramid, prism, tetrahedron, dodecahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, torus, cuboid, rhombic dodecahedron, ellipsoid, oloid, trapezohedron, truncated cone, truncated cuboctahedron, truncated dodecahedron, truncated icosahedron.
