Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) Modeling

Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) Modeling uses a set of 3-D base primitives, and unary and Boolean operations to build a solid model. The approach is frequently illustrated using a CSG tree. Most CSG modelers also allow for solid model construction using sweeping operations. Click on the items below to learn more.
