Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a truncated tetrahedron centered at the origin are

(±3, ±1, ±1),

(±1, ±3, ±1),

(±1, ±1, ±3),

where the ± has the same parity for each coordinate, that is, all coordinates have an even number of minuses (or all have an odd number).
