	Constructive solid geometry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Constructive solid geometry (CSG) is a technique used in solid modeling.
		Constructive solid geometry allows a modeler to create a complex surface or object by using Boolean operators to combine objects.
		When CSG is procedural or parametric, the user can revise their complex geometry by changing the position of objects or by changing the Boolean operation used to combine those objects.

		Solid modeling studies unambiguous representations, that is, models, of solid objects suitable for computer processing.
		In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron made of two parallel copies of some polygonal base joined by faces that are rectangles or parallelograms.
		It is said that an object is constructed from primitives by means of allowable operations, which are typically Boolean operations on sets: union, intersection and difference.

	Combinatorial Solid Geometry, Boundary Representations, and Non-Manifold Geometry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Solid models differ from drafting-type systems in several important ways: objects are composed of combinations of primitive objects (some quite complex), each of which is complete, unambiguous, physically realizable, and modifiable.
		For example, the geometry information associated with a planar face is the plane equation which includes the outward-pointing surface normal; the plane equation does not have to be re-derived from the vertices.
		Therefore, the conclusion was that the existing combinatorial solid geometry database would remain unchanged, and that any application that required an explicit representation of the modeled shapes would obtain that explicit representation through some form of conversion of the underlying CSG database.

	Generalized Method of Decomposing Solid Geometry into Hexahedron Finite Elements (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Decomposing geometry in terms of a function of external features is novel in that it utilizes the relationship of the solid geometry outer surface connectivity with respect to the number of edges on a solid independant of an assessment of the solid's interior.
		The majority of the remaining solid is easily meshed with the smooth transition boundary of the sub-volume.
		Reducing external complex shape characteristics to a level compatible with generic geometry is interfaced with various shape recognition conditions for identifying local configurations such as: reentrant edges, multiple surface solid geometry in compacted transition regions, and various hybrid solids, such as the filletted trailing edge of a turbine blade.

	Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG)
		It is the concept of CSG to provide solid 3D primitives which are described a set of parameters reflecting the object dimensions (Figure 2.17).
		The leaves of the CSG tree are the primitives, and the nodes are marked either as a Boolean set operation or with a rigid motion.
		First, the CSG primitives have to be converted to boundary models, and then these models have to be combined using the Boolean set operations, which, as already stated in section 2.3.1.3, turns out to be very complicated.

	3.4 Constructive Solid Geometry with the Stencil Buffer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The representation used in CSG for solid objects varies, but we will consider a solid to be a collection of polygons forming a closed volume.
		The ``convexity'' of a solid is defined as the maximum number of pairs of front and back surfaces that can be drawn from the viewing direction.
		Because a solid may vary in convexity when viewed from different directions, accurately representing the convexity of a primitive may be difficult and may also involve reevaluating the CSG tree at each new view.

		Even if this non-solid geometry (surfaces, copy geoms, etc.) isn't visible, it will cause the view size to be larger than the solid geometry.
		Surface cuts directly in the model may be another way to reduce the size of the extra geometry that is affecting the size of the drawing view boundaries.
		If the extra geometry is an IGES or STEP import, it may be possible to redefine the import feature to exclude surfaces to reduce the size of the view boundaries.

		From left to right, the four solids are the union and intersection of A and B, A - B and B - A.
		Therefore, a solid can be considered as the result of applying Boolean operators to a set of instantiated and transformed CSG primitives.
		In fact, every solid constructed using the CSG technique has a corresponding CSG expression which in turn has an associated CSG tree.
