Abstract
A method and apparatus of a device for obtaining a geometric representation of an object including a thin structure having a first surface and a second surface; generating one or more 2D blocking faces as a simplified representation of one of the first surface or the second surface; generating one or more 3D blocks based on an extrusion of the one or more 2D blocking faces; and determining a 3D mesh of the object based on the one or more 3D blocks.
