Method Detail

getPrimitiveType

GeometricPrimitive.PrimitiveType getPrimitiveType()

Must always return GeometricPrimitive.PrimitiveType.Solid.

Specified by:

getPrimitiveType in interface GeometricPrimitive

Returns:

GeometricPrimitive.PrimitiveType.Solid

getSolidType

Solid.SolidType getSolidType()

Returns the type of solid.

Returns:

the type of solid

getVolume

Measure getVolume(Unit requestedBaseUnit)

Parameters:

requestedBaseUnit -

Returns:

volume of the solid

getArea

Measure getArea(Unit requestedBaseUnit)

Parameters:

requestedBaseUnit -

Returns:

area of the solid's boundary

getExteriorSurface

Surface getExteriorSurface()

Returns the exterior surface (shell) of the solid.

Please note that this method may return null. The following explanation is from the GML 3.1.1 schema (geometryPrimitives.xsd): In normal 3-dimensional Euclidean space, one (composite) surface is distinguished as the exterior. In the more general case, this is not always possible.

Returns:

the exterior surface, or null if no surface is distinguished as being the exterior boundary

getInteriorSurfaces

List<Surface> getInteriorSurfaces()

Returns the interior surfaces of the solid.

Returns:

the interior surfaces, list may be empty (but not null)
