Hello Daniel! Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Essentially, we wouldn't have different solution prototypes for primitives (as combinations use the rtweight methodology for an analytic solution), which would make it easier to add the table functions in the Object class, and the code would also be

Kalpit, Implementing the missing functions for centroid, volume and surface in librt for the primitives can be highly non-trivial. How about implementing the "rtweight methodology" etc. fall-backs for every element in librt where an analytic solution is missing? After doing so you only had to ad
