'''Solid modeling''' (or '''modelling''') is a consistent set of principles for mathematical and computer modeling of three-dimensional [[solid (mathematics)|solids]]. Solid modeling is distinguished from related areas of [[geometric modeling]] and [[computer graphics]], such as [[3D modeling]], by its emphasis on physical fidelity.<ref name = "Solid Modeling">{{cite book |url=http://sal-cnc.me.wisc.edu/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=143&func=fileinfo&id=53 |title= Solid Modeling|author= Shapiro, Vadim |year= 2001 |publisher= Elsevier |access-date=20 April 2010}}</ref> Together, the principles of geometric and solid modeling form the foundation of [[3D modeling|3D]]-[[computer-aided design]] and in general support the creation, exchange, visualization, animation, interrogation, and annotation of digital models of physical objects.
