MuPAD Solid Primitives and Polyhedra

Fractal Staircase

Waterman polyhedron, sphere center [1,1,0], and radius=19

The SurfaceSet class is a very flexible tool for creating complex 3D objects polygon-based. Here we show selected Waterman polyhedra developed using SurfaceSet with MeshListType=TriangleFan.

Waterman polyhedron with the center of the big sphere equal to [1,1,0] and sphere radius equal to 19 units.

This model was developed in MuPAD using SurfaceSet with MeshListType=TriangleFan. Additionaly all edges were created separately. This way we obtained a model with strong edges. Additional advantage of this methods is that internal edges of faces, with 4 or more edges, are invisible.
