Problems solved by technology

The problem with this solution is that it is not possible to make the transmission visible only through certain areas of the bodywork (or conversely, it is not possible to only make certain parts of the transmission visible)

Embodiment Construction

[0028] Hereinafter, a "three-dimensional" (or "3D") object will be an object or a digital model thereof that allows three-dimensional (3D) representation. The 3D representation allows the part to be viewed from all angles. For example, when represented in 3D, a 3D object may be manipulated and rotated about any axis thereof or about any axis in the screen on which the representation is displayed.

[0029] In contrast, a "two-dimensional" (or "2D") object would be an object or a digital model thereof that only allows for a two-dimensional (2D) representation, eg, on a plane. For example, a 2D object can only translate in the plane of the screen on which the representation is displayed or rotate about an axis perpendicular to the screen.

[0030] A "digital model" of an object is a data structure or collection of data structures that can be processed by a computer and contains all the information needed for a computer to generate a 2D or 3D representation of said object. The d...

Abstract

A computer-implemented method of displaying an assembly of digitally modeled objects revealing hidden objects. 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.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for displaying components of digitally modeled objects, wherein a selected part of at least one object is "revealed" by seeing through the transparency of an object placed in front of it, said selected part being otherwise will be hidden. The invention also relates to a computer program product, a non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium and a computer-aided design (CAD) system for performing the method. Background technique [0002] The invention has applicability to the field of computer graphics, and more particularly to the field of computer-aided design. The invention is particularly suitable for producing technical notes, marketing displays, assembly instructions, training materials, and the like. [0003] In all of the above applications, there is a need to represent components of digitally modeled objects, revealing parts that would normally be hidden inside the components. For example, i...
