Using DiscretizeGraphics on a Graphics3D object that is produced by combining multiple Graphics3D objects

Consider the following two Graphics3D objects that can individually be meshed using DiscretizeGraphics. The first is a cone (produced via ParametricPlot3D):

centre = {-0.7187445069014783, 0.9892669447371633,
0.17750547233320435};
tip = {0, 0, 0};
vec1 = {-0.6163296489428813, 1.088347326141306,
0.04000644601351258};
vec2 = {-0.8446234808586002, 0.9224821483732286,
0.04000644601351257};
{v1, v2, v3} = # & /@ HodgeDual[centre - tip];
e1 = Normalize[v1];
e3 = Normalize[centre - tip];
e2 = Cross[e1, e3];

coneBounded =
ParametricPlot3D[
s*tip + (1 - s)*(centre + Rc*(Cos[t]*e1 + Sin[t]*e2)), {t, 0,
2 \[Pi]}, {s, 0, 1}, Boxed -> False, Axes -> False, Mesh -> None,
RegionFunction ->
Function[{x, y, z},
RegionMember[
HalfSpace[Cross[vec1 - tip, vec2 - tip], tip], {x, y, z}]],
PlotStyle -> ColorData["Rainbow"][1]];
DiscretizeGraphics[%];
{%%, %}


gives:

The second is a pair of triangles that bounds the cone:

t1={{0.0735871, 0.0450942, 0.0800129}, {0., 0., 0.}, {-0.61633, 1.08835,
0.0400064}};
t2={{0., 0., 0.}, {-0.0656268, -0.0560506,
0.0800129}, {-0.844623, 0.922482, 0.0400064}};
conetriangle = Graphics3D[{Blue, Triangle[t1], Triangle[t2]}]
DiscretizeGraphics[%];
DiscretizeRegion[%,  MaxCellMeasure -> {"Area" -> 0.01}];
{%%%, %}


giving:

Note: The further use of DiscretizeRegion is required to counteract a bug reported here: Change mesh density of Graphics3D object made of Triangles

I can also try and combine one cone and two adjoining triangles (using Show), and the result is as expected (the discretisation considers the combined object as a piecewise union and thus discretises separately):

Show[coneBounded, conetriangle] ;
DiscretizeGraphics[%];
DiscretizeRegion[%, MaxCellMeasure -> {"Area" -> 0.01}];
{%%%, %}


giving:

PROBLEM 1:

How do I get such a combined Graphics3D object to mesh with a uniform MaxCellMeasure everywhere? Thus, in the above picture, the cone and triangles would have roughly the same cell size.

PROBLEM 2:

Another problem arises when I try to combine many such cones and triangles together (using a combination of Table with rotations, and then Show), and then use DiscretizeGraphics on the whole. Here, I only get the triangles back!

fullSolution;
DiscretizeGraphics[%];
{%%, %}
(*where do the cones go?*)


gives:

I have no idea what is going on. Any help would be appreciated.

• Can you share the code for coneBounded and conetriangle`? – user21 Feb 16 at 4:43
• @user21 Done. Sorry for that. – ap21 Feb 16 at 13:05
• When I run your code, it still misses definitions. Anyways. have a look at the OpenCascadeLink. You might be able to do it with that. – user21 Feb 17 at 8:54
