| (...) Here's what I use, it works for triangles but you can easily change it for a quad. The idea is to check the angles between the vectors formed by each vertex and the point you're testing. x,y,z: point p1,p2,p3: vertex (float[3]) double pa1[3], (...)

How do I then determine whether the point of intersection falls within a quad (as in Dave's "exercise left for (...)   (27 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| Steve, Where are you on this one? I did part of it previously, but saw you were in progress on the part tracker. If you haven't done the sections I have done, I'd be happy to send you what I have (or vice-versa). -John Van    (27 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
