Deformation twinning on a plane is a simple shear that transforms a unit cell attached to the plane into another unit cell equivalent by mirror symmetry or 180 degrees rotation. Thus, crystallographic models of twinning require the determination of the short unit cells attached to the planes, or hyperplanes for dimensions higher than 3. Here, a method is presented to find them. Equivalently, it gives the solutions of the N-dimensional Bezout's identity associated with the Miller indices of the hyperplane.
