With this subproject of Surface it is possible to generate topological surfaces of arbitrary type and genus. The surfaces are created by pasting triangular or quadrilateral patches together, the description of the patches is read from an input file with extension *.bd.
The Build project is based on class Surface_Build (see 7.4.4) which provides the methods to read the description files and to compute the patches from the data.
This project together with the Refine project is especially useful for creating initial surfaces for the minimization algorithms of the Dual Project described in section 8.2.7.
