The convex hulls of such crosses often appear as cells in Delaunay tilings – cross polytopes are examples, as are the more spectacular symmetric perfect Delaunay polytopes.
text: The cross polytope βₙ is the regular polytope in n dimensions corresponding to the convex hull of the points formed by permuting the coordinates (±1,0,0,...,0), and has therefore 2n vertices. It is named so because its vertices are located equidistant from the origin, along the Cartesian axes in n-space. The cross polytope in n dimensions is bounded by 2ⁿ (n - 1)-simplices, has 2n vertices and 2ⁿ(n - 1) edges.
