Talk:Solid modeling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Merge

Those short articles:

• Parametric feature based modeler
• Change state
• Transmigration operation
• Euler boolean operation

all try to explain some (I guess very basic?) capabilities of solid modeling (or even narrower, of CAD); they fail to achieve this, as far as I am concerned, so maybe it would help to include them in the proper context here, per WP:NOT#DICT. Some very simple, very concrete ("brick") examples would help to make them comprehensible for a layman. --Kubanczyk 21:58, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Parametric feature based modeler is already included in some sense in the solid modeling article. Euler boolean operation is related only to the boundary representation and can be merged to that article. --Onna 09:20, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Onna

I have no idea what the Euler boolean operation article is talking about. Generally, boolean operations are useful because they provide an intuitive way to make holes in an object, ie, change its genus_(mathematics). Regular boolean operations don't result in MC Escher like objects, unless they're implemented wrong. The article should be taken down or rewritten so at least someone familiar with the concepts they're talking about can understand it. Jan 10 2008 Gilbert

I don’t believe Change state should be merged at all, it’s not just a Solid modelling concept, any computer based action is based on state. TBH, that article needs more work on it’s own or deletion -- johndrinkwater (talk) 19:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
