The /other/ shape that fills the bill is the Hexagonal Antiprism. On a side note, this shape is a stronger structure than the more common Hexagonal Prism, so if you're building a house, I'd go with the Antiprism.

The hexagonal prism is a prism with hexagonal base.
If faces are all regular, the hexagonal prism is a semiregular polyhedron. This is the fourth in an infinite set of prisms formed by square sides and two regular polygon caps.

Well, a hexagonal prism is like a decorative box whose six sides are straight up and down, and whose top and bottom are hexagons...
Certain polyhedrons (which basically just means closed 3-D shapes with flat sides) also can look like a hexagon in top-view.
But I think the hexagonal prism is the one you're looking for.
Hope this helps. :)

It can either be a right (meaning perpendicular in orientation) hexagonal prism or a slanted hexagonal prism.

One possibility is a hexagonal prism. There are others.
