  • Patent number: 11334690
    Abstract: A method of determining a modified shape of a computer-aided design model of an object or a partition thereof is described. With the method, at least two reference landmarks are placed at a reference position with respect to the shape of the object or to the partition. An adjustment landmark is placed at the reference position of the corresponding reference landmark. The adjustment landmarks are displaced from the reference position to a modified position, and a displacement between the modified position and the reference position is obtained. The modified shape of the object or the partition is generated by modifying the shape of the object or the partition by applying a homogeneous function of the displacement to the computer-aided design model of the shape of the object or the partition.
