Fractal Staircase

SurfaceSet Class, MeshListType=Quads

The SurfaceSet class is a very flexible tool for creating complex 3D objects polygon-based. In this and next examples we show examples created using SurfaceSet with various organization of mesh.

MuPAD

Image obtained in MuPAD. We use here SurfaceSet class with MeshListType=Quads.

Numbers show the order of points in the SurfaceSet declaration. Data for SurfaceSet were declared as a list of point coordinates. The blue points were added separately and these are not a part of the created SurfaceSet. Finally labels for points were created using plot::Text3d.

 

JavaView

The same model in JavaView. 

Note: in this example the order of points for quads is wrong. Therefore, we cannot expect that the JavaView model will be correct. In this model, parts of quads are missing.
