摘要:
A system, method, and computer program for determining a visibility solution of a model comprising the steps of rendering a model having a plurality of parts with at least one color value encoded for an at least one corresponding surface identity; distinguishing a plurality of exterior parts from a plurality of interior parts based on said at least one corresponding surface identity; and identifying a plurality of features in said model not copied into a composite image and appropriate means and computer-readable instructions.

Most three dimensional geometric modeling programs employ a feature-based parametric modeling technique. A modification attempted by a user in a feature-based parametric modeling may provide a result different than that expected by the user, since most edits require a 'roll back' of a history tree to the state wherein the geometry was originally created. Upon completing the edit, the tree rolls forward, taking into account the changes you have made. A problem arises when a parent feature is destroyed and now a child feature can no longer properly bind. The disclosed invention solves this problem by rolling back the tree to find the last successful bind made by the child, and then roll the model forward such that all downstream binding occurs with the successful bind in tact.
摘要:
A method and related CAD system and computer readable medium for creating a dimensioned object model in a CAD system, including automatically associating editable dimensions with an object model in the CAD system. The method includes receiving 2D CAD data, the 2D CAD data including dimension information, and creating a 3D model corresponding to the 2D CAD data. The method also includes associating the dimension information with features of the 3D model and storing the 3D model and associated dimension information in the CAD system. The dimension information can thereafter be edited to automatically produce corresponding changes in the 3D model. Other methods are also described.
摘要:
A method for use in CAD modeling software to define product structure based on virtual components created independent from geometry and without the need to create files on disk. With the additional capability of assigning geometry to the virtual components of the product structure that sets and orients the virtual components and manages multiple occurrences of like components. Further, the virtual component are published into real components with automatic 3D file creation completed.
