It does not work like that in ff3d. xmin, ymin and zmin are related to the 
computational mesh : not to the computational domain.

But you can define different objects of different colors (pigment {color rgb 
<r,g,b>}) then apply different BC on each color as it is defined in the user 
documentation.

Not in the translation but for the numerical resolution of the linear system.
