What is the limits method?
Technique to find intersection lines when solids penetrate, works best with plane surfaces
Best surfaces for limits method
Best surfaces for limits method
Plane surfaces (flat faces)
Type of intersections from limits method
Type of intersections from limits method
Straight lines (plane surfaces always create straight intersections)
Can limits method be used with curved surfaces?
Can limits method be used with curved surfaces?
No - won't work well, leads to inaccurate results

What are bend points?
What are bend points?
Points where intersection line changes direction (often at edges/corners)
