Polyhedron

class compas.geometry.Polyhedron(vertices, faces, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Shape

A polyhedron is defined by its vertices and faces.

Parameters
  • vertices (list[[float, float, float] | compas.geometry.Point]) – The point locations of the vertices of the polyhedron.

  • faces (list[list[int]]) – The faces as a list of index lists.

Attributes
  • vertices (list[list[float]]) – The XYZ coordinates of the vertices of the polyhedron.

  • faces (list[list[int]]) – The faces of the polyhedron defined as lists of vertex indices.

  • edges (list[tuple[int, int]], read-only) – The edges of the polyhedron as vertex index pairs.

Methods
