  • Patent number: 11176759
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of displaying a subset of a digitally modeled assembly (A) of objects (O1, O2, O3), the method comprising the steps of: a) generating and displaying a three-dimensional graphical representation of the assembly in a three-dimensional scene (3DSC); b) using a graphical tool (PT) for selecting one or more objects of said assembly from said three-dimensional graphical representation; c) determining a central point (CP) of the selected object or objects, and computing a distance of each object of the assembly from said central point; and d) modifying the displayed three-dimensional graphical representation of the assembly by hiding objects whose distance from the central point exceeds a threshold, or reducing their visibility. A computer program product, a non-transitory computer-readable data-storage medium and a Computer Aided Design system for carrying out such a method.

  • Patent number: 9460558
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for manipulating three-dimensional modeled objects of an assembly in a three-dimensional scene, comprising the steps of: determining at least a first set of at least one object and a second set of at least one object among said three-dimensional modeled objects of the assembly; grouping the at least one object of the first set in a first three-dimensional bounding box (BB) and the at least one object of the second set in a second three-dimensional bounding box (BB); and relatively reorganizing the bounding boxes (BB).
