It's fixed indeed.

Thanks for the pointer.

I think that what I called surface element is the equivalent of "facet".

Great.

I've had a quick look at "RegionBSPTree3D" as you suggested.

First questions (from a newbie POV):
* Do you intend to add more convenience methods to the
"Builder" (such as "addCube" and  "addCenteredCube")?  If not, shouldn't
the class be extensible (currently it is "final")?  If yes, where do we stop
("addSphere", "addPyramid", "addTorus", ...)?
* Wouldn't it be cleaner to separate "core" operations ("addFacet",
"addIndexedFacets", ...) from convenience methods that use them
('addCube", ...)?
* Then couldn't we define a more generic way to specify how to construct
all sorts of shapes?  E.g.:
---CUT---
public class RegionBSPTree3D {
    // ...
    public final class Builder {
        public Builder addFacets(List<List<Vector3D>> facets) {
            for (List<Vector3D> f : facets) {
                addFacet(f);
            }
        }
        public Builder add(FacetGenerator gen) {
            return addFacets(gen.build());
        }
        // ...
    }
    // ...
}

And e.g.
---CUT---
public classs RectangleGenerator implements FacetGenerator {
    /*
     * @param a first corner point in the rectangular prism (opposite
of {@code b})
     * @param b second corner point in the rectangular prism (opposite
of {@code a})
     */
    public RectangleGenerator(Vector3D a, Vector3D b) {
        // ...
    }

    @Override
    List<List<Vector3D>> build() {
        // ...
    }
}
---CUT---

WDYT?

Various nit-picks:

* Please put a space around operators:
---CUT---
for (int i=0; i<vertexIndices.length; ++i)
---CUT---
should be
---CUT---
for (int i = 0; i < vertexIndices.length; i++)
---CUT---

* Use "final" local variables wherever the reference won't be assigned a
new value.

* Use one condition per line:
---CUT---
if (precision.eq(minX, maxX) || precision.eq(minY, maxY) ||
precision.eq(minZ, maxZ))
---CUT---
should be
---CUT---
if (precision.eq(minX, maxX) ||
    precision.eq(minY, maxY) ||
    precision.eq(minZ, maxZ))
---CUT---


Best,
Gilles
