Properties & Relations  (5)

The dimension of RegionBoundary for a full-dimensional region is one dimension less:

The dimension of RegionBoundary for a lower-dimensional region is the same:

RegionBoundary of a lower-dimensional region is the region itself:

The boundary of a boundary is the boundary itself:

The boundary consists of points for which SignedRegionDistance is zero:
