Hi all,

 

I am new to CGAL and (after reading the introduction & some tutorials) I am still puzzled about the very function that I’d realize using CGAL, i.e. I have two (or more) spheres that may intersect with each other. What I want is a combined triangulated mesh of the whole lot, with the overlay parts clipped away and junctions joined properly. I know how to mesh a sphere but have no idea what is the ‘recommended way’, or the best way, to implement the union operation using CGAL to its full scale. Any suggestions or keywords for me to search for are extremely welcome as I am an absolute beginner to CGAL, although reading code is not a problem for me.

 

Regards,

Xiaofan
