Pseudo Boolean Algebraic Solution can be applied to automatic construction of all polyhedra from the given orthographic views. The orthographic views are called ambiguous if one or more polyhedra can be constructed from the views. Even if ambiguous orthographic views are given, personnel can construct a unique polyhedron with the use of their heuristics. Such heuristics can be also formalized by Pseudo Boolean Algebraic nonlinear integer programming in order to construct a unique polyhedron automatically from the ambiguouns orthographic views.
