US Patent:

61984876, Mar 6, 2001

Filed:

Feb 26, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/258595

Inventors:

Mark D. Fortenbery - Fayetteville TN
Cameron M. Stubbs - Decatur AL
Dominique J. Payannet - Madison AL
Robert Patience - Huntsville AL

Assignee:

Intergraph Corporation - Huntsville AL

International Classification:

G06F 1500

US Classification:

345420

Abstract:

A method for manipulating a first three-dimensional object, in a computer system including a display, a first software application, and a second software application. The present method includes the step of creating a model of the first three-dimensional object with the first software application, which has a first three-dimensional object with the first system. A step of storing the model of the first three-dimensional object in a model format is also included. The present method further includes the step retrieving the model of the first three-dimensional object in the model format into a second software application, the second software application having a second coordinate system. The present method also includes the step of manipulating a view of the model of the first three-dimensional object with the second software application and within the second coordinate system.
