The first moment divided by the volume yields the center of mass
in pieces: p.1~p.5 , p.6 , p.7 , p.8 , p.9~p.10
Typo on p.16: left Bezier patch of the characteristic map has a number of transposed entries associated with cn. The patch should equal the of lower right patch with the sign of the 2nd coordinate flipped.
1997
The Platonic Spheroids Technical Report (TR-97-052), Purdue University, 1997
Correction for tetroid, D_2q, middle column should be [-10 4 -12]
Correction for hexoid, upper left figure, the entries should be (top left: [-3 0 3], top right [3 0 3] and lower right[3 3 0])
Box-Spline Based CSG Blends

Smooth Blending of Basic Surfaces using Trivariate Box Spline
Jörg Peters and Michael Wittman

Pieter Barendrecht noticed that in Fig 4: entries 0 should be 1/2 (so the final value = (1/2)/4 = 1/8).

» Q&A

For general modeling I recommend C^1-surface splines. Surfaces...bicubics is older, uses more patches, uses more complicated formulas, does not prove the convex hull property. It is however the first of this type of construction.
