SSM, Solid Surface Model Builder, is used to generate 3-D geometric models. SSM is currently used by NASA-JSC, government contractors, and other NASA sites to build payload models, space station models, and models of conceptual designs. These models are then used in animation and visual analysis. SSM incorporates a wide variety of primitive shapes that can be combined to create detailed models. SSM also includes a constructive solid geometry function to create higher levels of detail. SSM can be used by almost any area that has a requirement to create polygonal models. Source code is included. Successfully implemented under iRIX 4.0.5. Also see OOM (Object Oriented Manipulator).
