Abstract:
A computer-implemented method displays an assembly of digitally modeled objects in a three-dimensional scene, by the steps of: defining at least one object of the assembly as being revealable; generating a graphical representation of the assembly wherein said revealable object is located at least partially behind at least another object, called hiding object, and displaying said graphical representation; using a graphical tool selecting a region of said graphical representation of the assembly, called a revealing zone; and rendering a three-dimensional scene comprising a three-dimensional representation of the assembly wherein a portion of the revealable object located behind the hiding object and comprised within the revealing zone is shown by transparency through said hiding object. A computer program product, a non-volatile computer-readable data-storage medium and a Computer Aided Design system for carrying out such a method.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for manipulating three-dimensional modeled objects of an assembly in a three-dimensional scene comprising the steps of: displaying a three-dimensional bounding box (BB) encompassing at least one three-dimensional object, a face of the surface of the bounding box (BB) comprising a plurality of interactive surfaces which are parts of the face; hovering pointing means (PM) on the bounding box (BB); and if at least one face of the surface of the bounding box (BB) is displayed such that its interactive surfaces are not accessible for the pointing means (PM), displaying a wider surface (WS) that allows accessibility of said interactive surfaces.

Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for determining exploded path of an exploded view of an assembly of three-dimensional modeled objects comprising the steps of displaying (1) in a main frame an exploded view of the assembly in a scene; computing (2) at least one set of exploded paths, an exploded path corresponding to a set of at least one exploded line linking at least one object of the assembly; displaying (3) a list of thumbnails, a thumbnail corresponding to at least one possible set of computed exploded paths of the assembly; selecting (4) one thumbnail among the list of thumbnails; and displaying (5) the selected thumbnail.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for manipulating three-dimensional modeled objects of an assembly in a three-dimensional scene, comprising the steps of: determining at least a first set of at least one object and a second set of at least one object among said three-dimensional modeled objects of the assembly; grouping the at least one object of the first set in a first three-dimensional bounding box (BB) and the at least one object of the second set in a second three-dimensional bounding box (BB); and relatively reorganizing the bounding boxes (BB).
