Expand description
The smallest axis-aligned box that holds a shape: how big a body is.
shape_bounds promises to hold everything and
so keeps each surface’s carrier bound, which for a surface of
revolution or a trimmed cone can stand well clear of the solid. Here
each extreme is found where it is: on an edge, by a one-dimensional
search along its curve, or inside a face, at a point of the exact
surface found from the face’s own mesh and held to the face’s chart.
Functions§
- tight_
bounds - The smallest axis-aligned box holding
shape, to withintol: each of its six sides where the shape actually reaches, on an edge, at a vertex or inside a face.
