InnerPolyhedron

InnerPolyhedron

InnerPolyhedron[poly]

gives the inner polyhedron of the polyhedron poly.

Details

InnerPolyhedron is also known as polyhedron inner void.
Typically used to decompose a polyhedron as a difference of simple polyhedrons, even when the original construction of the polyhedron was using crossing polygon faces etc.
InnerPolyhedron is defined by the canonicalization performed in CanonicalizePolyhedron.

InnerPolyhedron gives a polyhedron of the form Polyhedron[{p₁,p₂,…}, {{f₁,f₂,…},…}], where p_k are explicit coordinates, and f_k are integer lists referring to polygon faces.
If poly is a polyhedron without a void, then the result is an EmptyRegion object.
