intersect
Checks whether two solids intersect.
Signatures
- intersect( solid a, solid b )
Details
The function performs a fast check wether two solids intersect.
A similar functionality can be achieved with the intersection operator and the empty() method of solids: !( a & b ).empty(). The advantage of the intersect() function is, that it performs the check faster.
Example
solid a = box()
solid b = sphere()
echo( intersect( a, b ) )
Return value
A boolean value of true if the two solids intersect or false otherwise.
Parameters
- a
-
The first solid that gets checked.
- b
-
The second solid that gets checked.
