Sven Rathgeber commented on GEOMETRY-43:
----------------------------------------
Hi Matt,
I think it depends on the definition of intersection.
If the definition of parallel with distance = 0 means, there is no
intersection, then PolyhedronsSet.firstIntersection should return null.
If the definition of parallel with distance = 0 means, there are infinite
intersections, then PolyhedronsSet.firstIntersection should return a Plane and
Plane.intersection(Line) should return the Line (or a Segment).
( My interest is to find out (somehow), if the Line 'touches' (intersects or is
parallel with distance 0) the polySet
and if it does so, I need the intersecting points or the Segment information.
Do you see a way to achieve this ? )
