In the papers of I.K. Zhuk, then more completely of E. Molnar, I. Prok, J. Szirmai all simplicial 3-tilings have been classified, where a symmetry group acts transitively on the simplex tiles. The involved spaces depends on some rotational order parameters. When a vertex of a such simplex lies out of the absolute, e.g. in hyperbolic space H3, then truncation with its polar plane gives a truncated simplex or simply, trunc-simplex. Looking for symmetries of these tilings by simplex or trunc-simplex domains, with their side face pairings, it is possible to find all their group extensions, especially Coxeter’s reflection groups, if they exist. So here, connections between isometry groups and their supergroups is given by expressing the generators and the corresponding parameters. There are investigated simplices in families F3, F4, F6 and appropriate series of trunc-simplices. In all cases the Coxeter groups are the maximal ones.
