Question #45213
hello
i have many objects with known centre of mass coordinates distributed on a plane.
the objects have 2 main shapes (cudic and cylindrical).
i previously calculated the distance between there centres of mass to detect if they intersect 2 by 2.
now all what i need is to know which object is visible to the others so i can calculate the view factor
related to each object with respect to only the visible onces.
I'm waiting your help. thank's

Thanks for the reply, but the problem is more complicated: Actually I want detect these four situations: 1- Cubic Object1 is not seen by cylindrical Object2 because there is a cubic Object3 between them 2- Facet1 of cubic Object1 is fully seen by only facet2 of cubic Object3 3- Object1 is partially seen by cylindrical Object4 because Object4 is higher than Object2 and Object3 which are between Object1 and Object4 4- Facet1 of cubic Object3 is seen by two facets of cubic Object4
