Abstract:
1. A method of creating a three-dimensional graphic object, comprising the steps of: (a) selecting a first two-dimensional object modeled by at least one outline and a second two-dimensional object modeled by a closed curve; (b) automatically adjusting said closed curve in response to said at least one outline to generate a third two-dimensional object; (c) creating three-dimensionally a portion of said first two-dimensional object bounded by said at least one outline and a portion of said third two-dimensional object bounded by said adjusted closed curve so as to form a first three-dimensional object and a second three-dimensional object, respectively; (d) grouping said first and second three-dimensional objects to create said three-dimensional graphic object; and (e) displaying the three-dimensional graphic object.
