IsSolid Property

Description

Indicates whether or not the referenced object encloses a finite, well-defined volume.

Property type

Read-only property

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Property IsSolid As Boolean

Remarks

This does not necessarily imply that each Face, for example, is connected at all its edges. The Body may still consist of standalone Faces that collectively define a finite volume.

Example
