Polyhedron

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

Bases: compas.geometry.shapes._shape.Shape

A polyhedron is defined by its vertices and faces.

Parameters

  • vertices (list of compas.geometry.Point or list of [x, y, z]) – The point locations of the vertices of the polyhedron.

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