Extruded triangulation isn't watertight
suryam080 opened this issue · comments
Hi, Many thanks for this very useful library.
I am loading a simple disk (SVG attached here) as path, triangulating it and extruding this triangulation so that I can compute representative mass_properties as shown below. But contrary to my expectation, the mesh isn't watertight. What am I missing? Also, any mass_properties computed from here could be relied upon or not? Thanks.
import trimesh
path = trimesh.load_path("disk.svg")
[v, f] = path.triangulate()
height = 1.0
mesh = trimesh.creation.extrude_triangulation(v, f, height)
print(mesh.is_watertight)
print(mesh.moment_inertia)
Hey, if the triangulation was well constructed it should be watertight, maybe try triangle?
# pip install triangle
# triangle has a non-standard open source license but is free for non-commercial applications
[v, f] = path.triangulate(engine='triangle')
