Solid Class

The Solid class represents the physical object in the model created by a part instance. A solid instance can be used to query the actual geometry of the part and intersect that geometry with, for example, lines and planes.

[SerializableAttribute]
public sealed class Solid : ISolid

<SerializableAttribute>
Public NotInheritable Class Solid
	Implements ISolid

The Solid type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	MaximumPoint	Gets the maximum axis-aligned point of the solid in the current plane.
	MinimumPoint	Gets the minimum axis-aligned point of the solid in the current plane.

Methods

	Name	Description
	GetAllIntersectionPoints	Used to get all the intersection points between the solid and a plane. Does not arrange the points into polygons, thus a lot faster.
	GetCutPart	Returns a shell enumerator for the solid th at results cutting this solid with the given solid.
	GetEdgeEnumerator	Returns a new edge enumerator in the current plane.
	GetFaceEnumerator	Returns a new face enumerator in the current plane.
	Intersect(LineSegment)	Returns a list of line - solid intersection points.
	Intersect(Point, Point)	Returns a list of line - solid intersection points.
	Intersect(Point, Point, Point)	Obsolete. Returns a list of plane - solid intersection points. The first item of the list contains a list of the outmost intersection polygon and the rest of the items (if there are any) inner polygons.
	IntersectAllFaces	Returns an enumerator for an array list of lists of plane - solid intersection points from all intersecting faces. The first item of one list contains points of the outmost intersection polygon and then the inner polygons (if there are any).
	IsValid	Returns if the solid is valid.
