Represents a bounding volume, useful for simple collision and visibility testing in RB3DSpace controls. A Bounds3D can represent either an axis-aligned bounding box or and a bounding sphere.
Notes
Constructor Syntax
This table shows how to create either a bounding box or sphere.
Syntax | Parameters | Description |
|---|---|---|
New Bounds3D |
The constructor for a Bounds3D sphere. |
|
New Bounds3D |
The constructor for a Bounds3D box. |
As indicated in the Methods table, some of the tests are not exact; in hard-to-decide edge cases, Bounds3D returns True, which indicates that two objects overlap or an object is visible (InView). This means that a return value of True may indicate a need for more detailed tests, but a return value of False indicates that no further testing is necessary.
Currently, the Line intersection tests treat all Bounds3D volumes as bounding spheres.
