Hi,
I’m writing a .NET 8 service and need to work with two closed 3D solids.
What I have:
Two WKT strings, each representing a PolyhedralSurface Z (a closed set of 3D polygons; essentially a solid boundary).
What I need:
3D intersection – the solid (or mesh) resulting from the volumetric overlap.
Common boundary detection – determine if the two solids share a face, and if so, extract that shared face/plane.
Touching faces – detect faces that lie on the same plane without volume overlap.
My plan (with geometry3Sharp, dotnet8 branch):
Parse or convert the WKT PolyhedralSurface Z into a mesh (e.g., DMesh3).
Then use MeshBoolean (or other 3D boolean tools) to compute the intersection.
Finally, examine the result’s faces to find common/touching faces.
Questions:
What is the recommended way to convert a PolyhedralSurface Z (WKT) into a closed DMesh3 that represents the solid? Is there built-in WKT reading in geometry3Sharp, or do I need to manually triangulate the polygons and build the mesh?
Once I have two closed DMesh3 solids, what is the correct method to compute their intersection? Is MeshBoolean robust enough for this?
After the intersection, how do I extract the common boundary faces (i.e., the faces that belong to both original surfaces along the contact plane)?
A short code snippet showing the conversion step and the boolean operation would be extremely helpful. I'm targeting the dotnet8 branch for .NET 8 compatibility.
Thank you!
