How do you make a truncated tetrahedron?

I've searched everywhere but can't find how. I have found it, but not in the particular style I would like. I need it truncated on only one of the points. Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Ahh the sound of that hurts my poor little brain!

Are you wanting single square, modular, other, or does it matter?

Since I had no idea what a truncated tetrahedron was, I had to investigate! I found a great one in a book called "3-D Geometric Origami: Modular Polyhedra" by Rona Gurkewitz and Bennett Arnstein. I don't know anything about the availability of the book, but the instructions for it were in the preview...

I made it last night and I am happy with how it came out. I kinda want to check out the rest of the book now.

I snapped a pic for ya.
