How 3D Models are Stored in DWGPart 3: Modifying 3D Models with the Help of Teigha
In the previous article, I explained that describing 3D bodies using Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) involves significant difficulty in modifying the shape of the bodies. Yet the need for modifications arises as design is an iterative process. The reasons for model revision are extensive: new calculations,...

How 3D Models are Stored in DWG. Part 2: Using Boolean Operations to Create 3D Models with Teigha
In the previous article, I talked about the differences by which 3D models are stored in CAD files, as compared to how they are constructed by designers. Designers do not need to describe the shapes of the models they’re designing with mathematical formulae. Instead, the application's user interface...

How 3D Models are Stored in DWG. Part 1: The Terminology of B-reps
When we speak of 3D models in the mathematical sense, we usual refer to the “boundary representation” of solid bodies — their skin, as it were. Solids are so-called because their shape tends to be constant (cannot be easily modified), and their material is considered to be homogeneous throughout....
