Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to perform multiple actions based on a reality captured image. An adjustable splitter splits a viewport into viewing panes with the ability to freely adjust the splitter angle. A sphere represents a view of a scene from a viewpoint and used to render an interactive preview of the view without moving to the viewpoint. A series of 2D images may be used to simulate the navigation of a 3D model in an expedited manner. A 3D mesh error scroll bar is used navigate unsorted errors resulting from mesh creation. An interactive gradient map can be used to select a points based on a range of values for non-geometric parameters. An irregularly shaped mesh selection boundary can be directly modified by stretching. An elevation slice of a 3D model can be defined and isolated for viewing/manipulation.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture are configured to substitute an element in a vector-based computer generated illustration. A computer generated illustration comprised of vector geometry is obtained. A block that consists of one or more referenced first ancillary elements is also obtained. An instance of the block is then placed into the illustration. The instance identifies one of the first ancillary elements in the block. Further, the identified first ancillary element is displayed in the illustration at a location where the instance was placed. The block may also be placed over an existing ancillary element which would cause the replacement of all similar ancillary elements with instances of the block.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to display a stroked fill for an object. A computer-generated rendering is obtained that consists of vector geometry. Closed geometry is obtained in the computer-generated rendering. Lastly, a fill is automatically created. The fill consists of a series of two or more curves, wherein each curve in the series crosses an interior of the closed geometry.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture are configured to cast a shadow for a two-dimensional vector geometry. A two-dimensional computer-generated rendering comprised of vector geometry is obtained. A face of the vector geometry is then selected and a virtual height is assigned to the face. Once a location of a virtual light source is defined, a shadow for the vector geometry is created and displayed based on the virtual height of the face and the location of the virtual light source.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to modify an appearance style of a computer generated rendering. A computer generated rendering consisting of vector geometry is obtained. A closed second geometry is created in the computer generated rendering. The closed second geometry is then converted to a domain. An appearance style for an active region of the domain is identified and applied to all vector geometry in the active region on a per-pixel basis.
