Understood. Unfortunately this seems to negate what I consider to be one of the major benefits of using Boost.Geometry: that it does not seem to impose unnecessary copying of geometry data between my data structures and those required for boolean set operations.
My currently favored solution is to perform 3D Point operations outside Boost.Geometry. However as you can probably see in the other thread that I started I am having some other issues.
