3D Wireframe Geometry and Surfaces
|
Wireframe is a generic term for points, lines, curves, and planes. If a wireframe is attached to sketch geometry, it is called a 2D wireframe (see Chapter 5). 3D wireframe geometry can be placed freely in space and is the foundation of describing a surface. (A surface is a two-dimensional structure spanned by wireframe geometry.) 3D wireframe geometry or surfaces are commonly referred to as HybridShapes and are represented by the HybridShape class (Section 8.51).
