Member Function Documentation

find_intercept() [1/2]

virtual bool geomtools::i_find_intercept::find_intercept ( const vector_3d &  a_from, const vector_3d &  a_direction, face_intercept_info &  a_intercept, double  a_skin = GEOMTOOLS_PROPER_TOLERANCE  ) const

pure virtual

Find intercept on some surface from a segment/ray emitted from a point

This method implies we work in the local coordinate system of the target object

• a_from the position from which the ray is emitted
• a_direction the direction of the emitted ray
• a_intercept the data structure that contains the result of the intercept algorithm (impact point)

  Returns

  true if a valid intercept/impact has been found

Find intercept on some surface from a segment/ray emitted from a point

This method implies we work in the global coordinate system of the target object

• a_from the position from which the ray is emitted
• a_direction the direction of the emitted ray
• a_placement the positioning of the target object on which we search the intercept
• a_intercept the data structure that contains the result of the intercept algorithm (impact point)

  Returns

  true if a valid intercept/impact has been found
