Abstract
It is shown that everyd-dimensional zonotopeC whose vertices satisfy a certain rationality condition has the following property: There exist a positive integerk and a sequenceC 1,C 2,... of translates ofC such that every point ofd-space that is not a boundary point of someC i is in exactlyk of the setsC 1,C 2,...
