Touching solids

Hello,

I have some well organised solids that touch each other.

 

Is it possible to get information about which solid is touching which?

I import solids from SketchUp (they are imported as aggregates) and make

 

them with SolidBuilder.

Another question: If it is not possible to find touching solids, is it possible to find

 

faces that are overlapping?

Hi @jernejtekavec,

The Clipper transformer will clip a solid by another solid, returning the intersection volume. You can use this to find overlapping solids.

Hi Dave,

thanks for answer. I tried Clipper and I seem to be doing something wrong.

 

I connect my solids to clipper and clipee inputs. I have 17 touching solids.

 

I get 17 rejected (invalid geometry type) and 17 from "inside" output.

Both outputs contain original solids.
