Hey there!

I uploaded a solid drawing from a CAD software (like solidworks, inventor, stl files, etc) into Maple using plottools:-importplot("drawing.stl"). 

Also, I know Maple can give me the normal vector (and point of intersection) using line and intersection commands, for example.

Now, is it possible to find a point of intersection (and the normal vector at that point) of a line that crosses the uploaded CAD solid?

I guess that to accomplish that, it would be necessary to somehow "map" the solid and that's the part that I am lost.

Many thanks!

Hi all,

I wonder if any of you guys can figure out why this integral is taking more than 2 hours to return a result??

I had similar problems in the past that were fixed creating a procedure, changing the solver and in case of trigonometric functions, changing the argument from float to rational number.
