@UML(identifier="GM_SolidBoundary",

public interface SolidBoundary
- extends PrimitiveBoundary
The boundary of solids. Solid boundaries are similar to
surface boundaries. In normal 3-dimensional Euclidean
space, one shell is distinguished as the exterior. In the more
general case, this is not always possible.
NOTE: An alternative use of solids with no external shell would be to define
"complements" of finite solids. These infinite solids would have only interior boundaries. If
this specification is extended to 4D Euclidean space, or if 3D compact manifolds are used
(probably not in geographic information), then other examples of bounded solids without exterior
boundaries are possible.
