Abstract:
1. A method for generating a quilt representation of a three-dimensional structure, the method comprising: generating a first quilt representation of a three-dimensional structure, including: identifying a model of the three-dimensional structure, the model representing the three-dimensional structure by a solid representation scheme, where: the model of the three-dimensional structure is one of: a boundary representation (B-rep) model, a function representation (F-rep) model, or a constructive solid geometry model (CSG); and faceting the model and generating the first quilt representation, the first quilt representation including representing the three-dimensional structure by a plurality of patches, the first quilt representation being associated with a first display level of detail, where the faceting is performed by one or more first processors; adding information to the first quilt representation, including: generating a second quilt representation based on the first quilt representation, including:
