A series of two-dimensional cross sections of the primitive solids P, Q, and R formed by extruding the TINs in part (a) of the figure above is shown in part (b).

The final step of the modeling process consists of combining the primitive solids to form solid models of the soil layers. This is accomplished using set operations. Portions of the solids that overlap other solids are "trimmed" away and adjacent solids are forced to match precisely at the boundaries. This step of the modeling process is illustrated in part c. Primitive Q is subtracted from primitive P to produce the temporary solid P-Q. Primitive R is then subtracted from P-Q to produce the solid P'. The solid Q' is formed by subtracting primitive R from primitive Q. The primitive R does not intersect other solids and needs no trimming. Cross sections of the completed solid models of the soil layers are shown in part (d).
