After taking a look at the MGED tutorials, I have understood what are regions, groups and combinations, in general. I also understood how the Boolean operations are used to create complex regions. After looking at the gqa.c file, I guess the approach I mentioned in my previous mail for finding volume is followed already to find the volume of an object in 'n' different views and if the difference between them is under a threshold (VOLUME_TOL), we find the average volume and that is the volume of the object, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I still have to take a look at rtweight. I have attached my first proposal draft. Please do take a look at it and give your valuable feedback. :) > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, > sponsored > by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for > all > things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs > to > news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
