  • Computer implemented method for designing a three-dimensional modeled object comprising a curve and a point place on the curve
    Patent number: 10497183
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method designs a three-dimensional modeled object. The method: provides, in a three-dimensional scene, said three-dimensional modeled object comprising a curve (C) defined by a set of vertices (V1, V2, V3) and a set of edges (E1, E2) connecting said vertices. Next the method places a point (P) on the curve; stores an initial position of the point on the curve, relative to a first vertex (V2); stores an initial position of the point within the three-dimensional scene; and modifies the curve by deleting the first vertex. The method further places the point onto the modified curve (C?) at a modified position (P?) situated at a minimal distance from the stored initial position of the point within the three-dimensional scene.
