    An n-trapezohedron is defined by a regular zig-zag skew 2n-gon base, two symmetric apices with no degree of freedom right above and right below the base, and quadrilateral faces connecting each pair of adjacent basal edges to one apex. An n-trapezohedron has two apical vertices on its polar axis, and 2n basal vertices in two regular n-gonal
