Illustration of a octagonal bifrustum created by three parallel planes of octagons with the middle plane largest. The top and bottom octagons are congruent. It can be constructed from two congruent frustums across a plane of symmetry, or as a bipyramid with truncated vertices.

An illustration showing how to construct an octagon on a given line. "Prolong AB to C. With B as center and AB as radius, draw the circle AFDEC; from B, draw BI at right angles to AB; divide the angles ABC and DBC each into two equal parts; then BD is one side of the octagon. With A and E as centers, draw the arcs HKE and AKI, which determine the points H and I, and thus complete the octagon as shown in the illustration."
