Interface PolyhedralSurface

All Superinterfaces:
GenericSurface, Geometry, OrientablePrimitive, OrientableSurface, Primitive, Surface, TransfiniteSet
All Known Subinterfaces:
Tin, TriangulatedSurface

@UML(identifier="GM_PolyhedralSurface",

public interface PolyhedralSurface
extends Surface

A surface composed of polygon surfaces connected along their common boundary curves. This differs from Surface only in the restriction on the types of surface patches acceptable.
