Abstract: A common representation of a three dimensional object in computer applications, such as graphics and design, is in the form of a triangular mesh. In many instances, individual or groups of triangles in such representation need to satisfy spatial constraints that are imposed either by observation from the real world, or by concrete design specifications of the object. As these problems tend to be of large scale, choosing a mathematical optimization approach can be particularly challenging. In this paper, we model various geometric constraints as convex sets in Euclidean spaces, and find the corresponding projections in closed forms. We also present an interesting idea to successfully maneuver around some important nonconvex constraints while still preserving the intrinsic nature of the original design problem. We then use these constructions in modern first-order splitting methods to find optimal solutions.
