Description

Returns true when the input carries the solid flag, such as a geometry produced by CG_MakeSolid. A closed PolyhedralSurface remains a surface until it is explicitly converted. This tests the representation, not shell closure or validity; no validity check is performed.

Availability: 3.5.0

This method needs SFCGAL backend.

This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.

This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.

This function supports Triangles and Triangulated Irregular Network Surfaces (TIN).

Examples

Compare the same closed shell before and after converting it to a solid.
