I see in iGeom_CGMA.cc file, function iGeom_get_adjacent_entities, if asks for 3-D refentities, it returns body list. In CGM, bodies are not necessary to be 3-D entities, it may contain single surface or shell. Should we change the return to be only refvolumes which are 3-D entities (I prefer this, makes more sense)? Or I can return both bodies and refvolumes in the returned refentity list. Depending on your user case, I can return one of the two choices.

Yes, it returns a list of refVolume's which are RefEntities.

Hi Jane, 

Will the ref_volumes() method return RefEntities?

Look at line 6454, if you have body's pointer, directly call ref_volumes() will work. It's not an iGeom interface function, but you can access it in iGeom.

Good luck!

Hi Jane,

I looked around for this but didn't see it, is there a specific line/function you were thinking of? Good to know the ref_volume information is so easy to get to, but it doesn't seem that its part of the iGeom interface. The issue being that there's no way to access a body's volumes via iGeom.

Cheers,

Patrick

See example in  iGeom_CGMA.cc, body->ref_volumes(volumes).
