For usage information, tutorials, and more see the documentation at qkmaxware.github.io.
The library is available as a NuGet package for any .Net implementation that supports the .Net Standard 2.0. Visit the Packages page for downloads.
Geometry in this library is modeled as a collection of triangular faces whose vertices are points in 3d space. There are some handy utility classes which can be used to generate specific primitive geometric shapes as described below.
| Name | Shape | Image |
|---|---|---|
| Plane | Flat planar face in the XY plane |  |
| Cube | 6 sided cube |  |
| Cylinder | Solid cylinder with configurable radii |  |
| Tube | Hollowed out cylinder with an inner and outer radius |  |
| Capsule | Cylinder capped with two hemispheres |  |
| Cone | Cone with a given radius |  |
| Sphere | UV sphere |  |
| Hemisphere | Half of a sphere |  |
| Torus | Torus with configurable radii |  |
| Frustum | Pyramidal Frustums |  |
| Nosecone | Varieties of aerodynamic nosecones |   |
| Arrow | Vertically pointing arrow |  |
| TextMesh | String to mesh based on 3d font character set Default font based on Blender3D's BFont. |
 |
| Name | Effect | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Difference | Subtract one solid from another |  |
| Union | Combine 2 solids into a single solid |  |
| Intersection | Form a new block from where two blocks overlap |  |
The core library supports importing and exporting geometry from several different 3d model file formats. All classes related to importing and exporting can be found within the Qkmaxware.Geometry.IO namespace.
