Copy

[SerializableAttribute]
public class AABB : IBoundingVolume

<SerializableAttribute>
Public Class AABB
	Implements IBoundingVolume

The AABB type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	AABB	Instantiates a new axis-aligned 3d bounding box with the maximum point initialized to the smallest possible value and the minimum point to the largest possible value.
	AABB(AABB)	Instantiates a new axis-aligned 3d bounding box which is a copy of the given axis-aligned 3d bounding box.
	AABB(IEnumerablePoint)	Constructs AABB from given point list.
	AABB(Point, Point)	Instantiates a new axis-aligned 3d bounding box with the given minimum and maximum points.

Properties

	Name	Description
	MaxPoint	The maximum point of the axis-aligned 3d bounding box.
	MinPoint	The minimum point of the axis-aligned 3d bounding box.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Collide	Checks if the current axis-aligned 3d bounding box collides with another given axis-aligned 3d bounding box. Both axis-aligned 3d bounding boxes need to be in the same coordinate system or in the same workplane, so that they are defined using the same axes.
	GetCenterPoint	Returns the geometric center point of the current axis-aligned 3d bounding box.
	GetCornerPoints	Returns all corner points of the current axis-aligned 3d bounding box.
	IsInside(LineSegment)	Checks if the given line segment is inside the current axis-aligned 3d bounding box.
	IsInside(Point)	Checks if the given point is inside the current axis-aligned 3d bounding box.

Operators

	Name	Description
	Addition(AABB, AABB)	Combines (adds) the given two axis-aligned 3d bounding boxes.
	Addition(AABB, Point)	Adds the given point to the given axis-aligned 3d bounding box.
	Addition(Point, AABB)	Adds the given point to the given axis-aligned 3d bounding box.

using Tekla.Structures.Model;
using System;

public class Example
{
       public void Example1()
       {
           Beam MyBeam1 = new Beam();

           Solid MySolid1 = MyBeam1.GetSolid();
           Solid MySolid2 = MyBeam2.GetSolid();
           AABB MyAxisAlignedBoundingBox1 = new AABB(MySolid1.MinimumPoint, MySolid1.MaximumPoint);
           AABB MyAxisAlignedBoundingBox2 = new AABB(MySolid2.MinimumPoint, MySolid2.MaximumPoint);

           if (MyAxisAlignedBoundingBox1.Collide(MyAxisAlignedBoundingBox2))
           {
               Console.WriteLine("Collision between beams!");
           }
