Hi everyone,

I've been doing some work on the 3D calculations. You haven't heard from me for a while, as I had to switch and work on another project.

I did my best to follow the design guidelines that I could find in BG, and based on that I have a AABBbox, PolygonSoup, Halfspace, LineSegment, Tetrahedron, TetrahedralDecomposition and similar things + intersection (test) algorithms up and running in 3D.

Right now, the code is tied to a C++ Computational Fluid Dynamics framework OpenFOAM - currently only by the Point type and vector operations (cross/dot product). As soon as I finish the method I'm working on, I will have time to detach the 3D geometry into a separate library/repo.

I would really like to work on it until it fits the standards of BG, but I would probably need input regarding the design from your side. If I don't get interrupted again by something else, I estimate I will be able to start porting all I have in a few weeks time. At that point you guys can see if what I managed to do is worth an effort from your side, or not.

Best regards,
Tomislav

Hi,

The current 3D situation is fairly well summarized by Adam. Except the "non-official" bit - arithmetic functions in BG are absolutely official and public.

I will add a cross product operation to the library - that's honestly the only building brick I can bring in a reasonable time right now, as I still have to finalize the work on variants (only 2-3 algos left). A "normal" algorithm is planned but no ETA at all yet.

More generally, I'm basically the one who was supposed to bring the 3D bits into BG - being mostly the only author really interested in that. I just have troubles finding the time for that, and even more because I work on more general features.

Regards

Bruno
