Constructability of Trip-lets
نویسندگان
چکیده
A trip-let is an object as shown on the cover of Hofstadter’s book Gödel, Escher, Bach: a solid, threedimensional object that, when viewed from three orthogonal directions, shows three different letters. In this paper we consider two problems related to the construction of such objects for a given set of three letters. First, we want to know whether the silhouettes of the object correspond to the letters we used to make the object. Second, we are interested in the connectedness of the final object: does it fall apart during construction? We obtain results on the combinatorial complexity of objects and silhouettes for letters given as general or rectilinear polygons with holes, and give algorithms to solve the problems efficiently for the rectilinear case.

متن کاملConstructability Reasoning Based on a 4d Facility Model
Improving the constructability of a facility design is a key concern for owners, designers, and builders of facilities. Prior research has shown that a product model based on a 3D CAD model of a facility can support constructability reasoning to assist a project team in identifying constructability issues. This paper shows how a 4D facility model (3D plus time) improves constructability reasoni...
