by Tim C. Lueth, SG-Lib Toolbox: SolidGeometry 5.6 - CPL/Closed Polygon Lists
Introduced first in SolidGeometry 5.4, Creation date: 2024-07-09, Last change: 2025-09-15

returns the projection of a solid the would be created by SGof2CPLzheurist

Description

If a convex and a concave connotur are extruded in direction z to a solid geometry, to larger contour could be replaced by the z-projection of the final contour. This is the purpose of this function
