  • Patent number: 10963596
    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating, storing, and manipulating 3D objects in a software-supported virtual environment, and furthermore automatically generating the 3D objects in a CAD software application, are disclosed. The systems and methods allow for assemblies of the 3D objects to be saved and exported, where the saved assemblies are then imported by the CAD software application. The CAD software application includes a plug-in for generating part instances corresponding to each 3D object of the saved assembly. The plug-in includes master part models that define how the part instances are represented in the CAD software application, and how each part instance is to be connected for creating the saved assemblies in the CAD software application.
