[postgis-devel] Making SFCGAL mandatory

[Regina Obe]

Regarding solid and non-solid intersection - what if they are indeed two distinct operations, just like ST_Contains and ST_Intersects that mean basically the same thing for point-and-polygon, but start differing with higher dimensions? Maybe we can find two different words for solid intersection and non-solid intersection operations, and then one of them will be GEOS and another CGAL?

Forgot to answer this one

 

 

That would be great except for one tiny problem.  Our 3D intersects does not work with TINs even surface ones from what I recall.  Though it seems to me we can fake it similar to how we fake curve support with many functions.  Convert the TINs to a collection of polygons (3 point we might even make some performance enhancements knowing they are all triangles) and do the operation check

 

Thanks,

Regina
