How to finish solving Hexagonal Dipyramid

[DaijoCube]

Hi, I have finally decided to finish modding my 4x4x4 into a hexagonal dipyramid.

Iscrambled it, and managed to get near the total solve all by myself but I have this situation I can't solve



Anybody has a solution?

Use Nikklas to swap a centre piece with adjacent side, then swap it back into the correct place. Repeat untill solved. I think this should work

I googled it and I have no idea what you are talking about.

It is a lot like solving a supercube 4x4. Look up the edges first method, it will help.

Nikklas - like for centres on 6x6 or 7x7 - r' U' l U r U' l'

Use it to swap with a centre piece on another side, then use the sam alg with a setup move, to bring the original piece back into place. I know what I'm trying to say, just struggling to convey it.

I still don't get it.

Is it a parity?

No, I don't think it is. The centres are just in the wrong position.

Find an alg that will swap them.

Tried this alg and I don't get what it does. Do you have a link? Can't find anything of what you are saying on Google. You see, I haven't been around the speedcuber community for years now, I'm not at ease with the names you use.

Could you explain in greater details?

thks

Look at what happens when we apply this alg. Two centres from adjacent sides are swapped. With use of a few setup moves, we can choose which pieces swap with which. In this one, B is the setup move. You see the different affect it has?

It would be easier to demonstrate if the alg app had supercube stickers.

AHHHHHH! I thought lower case R meant 3 layers at a time! This is the center commutator algorithm! Why haven't I thought of this -_-

Thanks!

 

[James Ludlow]

The pennys dropped!

Good luck

 

[DaijoCube]

I finished it messing around with commutators, thanks!

For m moves move both middle layers. M' U M U' M' U M U' M' U M U' M' U M U' M' U M U'

What is it ? The Alg to inverse the center ?
And who can help me I don’t understand ur explications sorry :/
