Methods

	Name	Description
	Dispose	Releases all resources used by the TriangulatedSolidOrShell
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
	GetShellComponent	Returns the specified shell component of a solid or shell. Input componentIndex must lie between 0 and ShellComponentCount-1, inclusive. The returned TriangulatedShellComponent should not be modified by the caller.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Remarks

The triangulation consists of a number of TriangulatedShellComponents. For a solid, there will be one TriangulatedShellComponent for each component of the solid's boundary. For example, a solid cube has just one boundary component (containing six faces), so there will be just one TriangulatedShellComponent. A solid consisting of two disjoint cubes has two boundary components (the boundaries of the two cubes), so there will be two TriangulatedShellComponents. A solid consisting of a sphere with a round void (or hole) inside it also has two boundary components (the outer sphere and the inner sphere), so there will be two TriangulatedShellComponents.

For a shell, there will be one TriangulatedShellComponent for each component of the shell.

Note that this class does not contain information on the containment structure of the boundary components of a solid.

Be careful not to confuse the components of a solid with the solid's boundary components. This class deals only with the boundary components.
