Mesh | Solidean

A Solidean Mesh represents geometry in a broader sense. A Mesh consists of a collection of surfaces and some metadata. Usually, a mesh is a solid mesh, the enclosing boundary of a solid volume. However, meshes can also be configured to allow for self-intersections and nested components, resulting in the more general class of supersolid meshes. Any combination of supersolid meshes has well-defined Boolean results. Other configurations allow processing of meshes with small and even large holes in a best-effort fashion.

Note:

Individual surfaces are usually not closed or solid. Only all surfaces together form a closed mesh.
