Abstract
Embodiments of the invention include a method inserting a new face in a polygonal mesh comprising receiving an input corresponding to: a polygonal mesh having a plurality of faces, a selection of a face (fm) of the plurality of faces, a direction vector (d), a modified target plane (pm), and a threshold angle θ. For each edge (e) of the selected face fm, the method further includes determining each adjacent face (fadj) to selected face fm, and inserting a new face at edge e if no adjacent face exists or if fadj is substantially parallel to pm and within threshold θ. In some embodiments, the new face has a normal orthogonal to e and d.
