Construct an axis-aligned block given the X, Y and Z coordinates of two diagonally opposite vertices. The X, Y and Z directions of the resulting block are determined by the order of the given values. For example, if x1 <= x2, then the block's X direction will be Direction3d.positiveX, otherwise it will be Direction3d.negativeX, and similar for Y and Z. Therefore, something like

Block3d.with
    { x1 = Length.meters 0
    , x2 = Length.meters 500
    , y1 = Length.meters 300
    , y2 = Length.meters 0
    , z1 = Length.meters 100
    , z2 = Length.meters 200
    }

would have its X direction equal to Direction3d.positiveX, its Y direction equal to Direction3d.negativeY, and its Z direction equal to Direction3d.positiveZ.

Construct an axis-aligned block stretching from one point to another;

Block3d.from p1 p2

is equivalent to

Block3d.with
    { x1 = Point3d.xCoordinate p1
    , y1 = Point3d.yCoordinate p1
    , z1 = Point3d.zCoordinate p1
    , x2 = Point3d.xCoordinate p2
    , y2 = Point3d.yCoordinate p2
    , z2 = Point3d.zCoordinate p2
    }

and so the same logic about the resulting block's X, Y and Z directions applies (see above for details).

Construct a frame centered on the given axes, with the given overall dimensions (length/width/height):

block =
    Block3d.centeredOn Frame3d.origin
        ( meters 20, meters 10, meters 30 )


Block3d.vertices block
--> [ Point3d.meters -10 -5 -15
--> , Point3d.meters -10 -5 15
--> , Point3d.meters -10 5 -15
--> , Point3d.meters -10 5 15
--> , Point3d.meters 10 -5 -15
--> , Point3d.meters 10 -5 15
--> , Point3d.meters 10 5 -15
--> , Point3d.meters 10 5 15
--> ]

Convert a BoundingBox3d to the equivalent axis-aligned Block3d.

Get the overall dimensions (e.g. length, width, height) of a block.

Get the central axes of a block as a Frame3d.The origin point of the frame will be the center point of the block.

Get the X axis of a block.

Get the Y axis of a block.

Get the Z axis of a block.

Get the center point of a block.

Get the volume of a block.

Get the 8 vertices of a block as a list. The order of the vertices returned is unspecified.

Get the 12 edges of a block as a list. The orientation of each edge and the order in which they are returned are unspecified.

Get the minimal bounding box containing a given block. This will have exactly the same shape and size as the block itself if the block is axis-aligned, but will be larger than the block if the block is at an angle.

cube =
    Block3d.from
        (Point3d.meters 0 0 0)
        (Point3d.meters 1 1 1)


rotatedCube =
    cube
        |> Block3d.rotateAround Axis3d.y
            (Angle.degrees -45)


Block3d.boundingBox rotatedCube
--> BoundingBox3d.fromExtrema
-->     { minX = Length.meters -0.7071
-->     , maxX = Length.meters 0.7071
-->     , minY = Length.meters 0
-->     , maxY = Length.meters 1
-->     , minZ = Length.meters 0
-->     , maxZ = Length.meters 1.4142
-->     }

Interpolate within a block based on coordinates which range from 0 to 1. For example, the center point of a block is

Block3d.interpolate block 0.5 0.5 0.5

Check if a block contains a given point:

block =
    Block3d.from
        (Point3d.meters 2 1 0)
        (Point3d.meters 5 3 4)


block |> Block3d.contains (Point3d.meters 3 2 3)
--> True


block |> Block3d.contains (Point3d.meters 3 4 1)
--> False

Scale a block about a given point by a given scale. Note that scaling by a negative value will flip the handedness of the block's axes, and therefore the order/direction of results from Block3d.vertices and Block3d.edges will change.

Rotate a block around a given axis by a given angle.

Translate a block by a given displacement.

Translate a block in a given direction by a given distance.

Mirror a block across a given plane. Note that this will flip the handedness of the block's axes.

Convert a block from one units type to another, by providing a conversion factor given as a rate of change of destination units with respect to source units.

Convert a block from one units type to another, by providing an 'inverse' conversion factor given as a rate of change of source units with respect to destination units.

Take a block defined in global coordinates, and return it expressed in local coordinates relative to a given reference frame.

Take a block considered to be defined in local coordinates relative to a given reference frame, and return that block expressed in global coordinates.
