You need to load the required standard package
Needs["Geometry`Polytopes`"]
vert1 = Vertices[Octagon]
{{1/Sqrt[2], 1/Sqrt[2]}, {0, 1}, {-(1/Sqrt[2]), 1/Sqrt[2]}, {-1, 0},
{-(1/Sqrt[2]), -(1/Sqrt[2])}, {0, -1},
{1/Sqrt[2], -(1/Sqrt[2])}, {1, 0}}
Show[Graphics[Line[Append[vert1, First[vert1]]]], AspectRatio -> 1,
ImageSize -> {100, 100}];
vert2 = Vertices[Octahedron]
{{0, 0, Sqrt[2]}, {Sqrt[2], 0, 0}, {0, Sqrt[2], 0}, {0, 0, -Sqrt[2]},
{-Sqrt[2], 0, 0}, {0, -Sqrt[2], 0}}
Needs["Graphics`Polyhedra`"]
Show[{Polyhedron[Octahedron], Graphics3D[{PointSize[.03], Point /@ vert2}]}];
