Bounding Box in Three-Dimensional Space MbCube

The MbCube class is declared in the mb_cube.h file.

The MbCube bounding box describes the extents of an extended object (a curve, a surface, a solid, or several solids) in three-dimensional space and is defined by two points pmin and pmax. The faces of the bounding box are parallel to the planes of the coordinate system in which the cube is defined. The points pmin and pmax describe two opposite vertices of the bounding box that have the smallest and the largest coordinates, respectively:

If the extents of an extended object are not defined, then the bounding box is considered empty and pmin = [10-300 10-300 10-300], pmax = [−10-300 −10-300 −10-300]. For an empty bounding box pmin > pmax, and the IsEmpty() method returns true.
