Crossvault
![../_images/crossvault.png](../_images/crossvault.png)
Construct an assembly data structure of a cross-vault that can be used for equilibrium calculations, generation of fabrication data, or assembly simulationos.
We construct the assembly from a list oof meshes representing the blocks.
The JSON file containing the meshes is available here: crossvault.json
