Computer-implemented method for designing a three-dimensional modeled object

摘要

A computer-implemented method for designing a three-dimensional modeled object provides the three-dimensional modeled object in a three-dimensional scene; and displays a plane-shaped graphical tool (PSGT) defining a current working plane. The method points to and activates the plane-shaped graphical tool (PSGT) with a pointing element (PE). Without releasing the pointing element (PE), the method hovers the pointing element over a part of the three-dimensional modeled object and selects said part of the three-dimensional modeled object when releasing the pointing element (PE). The method extracts a working plane from the selected object at the current position of the pointing element and defines said plane as the current working plane represented by the plane-shaped graphical tool (PSGT). Lastly, a designing operation is performed in the current working plane.
