Replace face operator for solid body modeling

摘要

A computer-implemented solid modeling system performs a replace face operation on a solid body by selecting one or more outgoing faces on the solid target body and replacing the selected faces with one or more incoming faces from an operator body. The selected faces on the target body may comprise a single face, a set of adjacent faces or a set of disjoint faces. The selected faces on the operator body may comprise one single-sided face or one or more sheets, wherein a sheet is an edge-connected set of double-sided faces.
