Solids Builder - Solids

Solids are the final geometries to be drawn. There are the following activities that create solids:

• Extrude - creates an extrusion of plane geometry with a height
• Swept - creates a swept solid from flat geometry across an axis
• Loft - creates a transition between two flat figures
• Revolve - creates a solid by Revolve of a flat section on an axis
• Join - joins two or more solids into one
• Slice - cuts a solid on a plane
• Subtract - subtracts one more solids from a source solid
• Intersect - intersect one more solids from a source solid

Note: the activities Join, Slice e Subtract do not modify the original solids. When processing them, copies are created and they are modified.

Properties (to be used in VB expressions, for quantitative for example):

• Volume - solid volume (real number)
  
  
• Area - surface area of the solid (real number)
• Centroid - centroid of the solid ( Point)
• MaxPoint - greater X, Y, Z of the parallelepiped that circumscribes the solid ( Point)
• MinPoint - smaller X, Y, Z of the parallelepiped that circumscribes the solid ( Point)
  
  

Methods (for use in VB expressions)

• Sphere - creates a sphere with informed radius and center
  sphere = GeometrySolid3D. Sphere(center, radius)
  Where:
  center is a Point
  radius is a real number
• Box - creates a parallelepiped with informed dimensions and center
  box = GeometrySolid3D. Box (center, length, width, height)
  Where:
  center is a Point that will be at the center of mass of the solid
  length, width, height are real numbers
• Pyramid - cria uma pirâmide
  pyramid = GeometrySolid3D. Pyramid (center, height, sides, radius, topRadius)
  Where:
  center is a Point that will be at the center of mass of the solid
  height, Pyramid height, real number
  sides, number of sides (whole)
  radius, base radius (real number)
  topRadius, radius of the top of the pyramid (real number)
