Could you build this?

No Boundary representation (B-Rep) solid modeling with NURBS in C++ requires advanced computational geometry and deep CAD kernel expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires a custom C++/Python geometry kernel or integration with Open CASCADE, implementing complex topology algorithms (half-edge data structures, surface trimming, boolean operations, and NURBS evaluation) compliant with Pixar's OpenUSD schemas. The hard parts are robust intersection curves, numerical precision issues, and topological edge-stitching. Requires high-level domain expertise in computational geometry and CAD mathematics.
