Abstract
A method of constructing solid models in which a set of primitive solids is provided (e. g, cuboids, cylinders), and further solids are created by either moving a solid in space, or by set combinations of solids (i. e, set union, intersection, or difference). The technique has been put on a firm theoretical basis [Requicha and Voelker 80].
