Patent ID: 7275023

Claim:
A system for interactively generating a geometric mesh model by a user comprising: a user computer system, wherein said user computer system includes a memory, a processor, a user input device and a display device; a remotely located computer system in communication with said user computer system, wherein said remotely located computer system includes a processor, a memory, and a data storage means; a computer-generated geometric base mesh model stored in said data storage means; a computer-generated mesh feature stored in said data storage means, wherein the user uses the user computer system to communicate with said remotely located computer system to interactively create said mesh feature and store said mesh feature in said data storage means; a feature matrix containing predetermined instructions for applying a selected mesh feature to the base mesh model, that is accessible to the user computer system and the remotely located computer system; and a new mesh model generated according to said feature matrix, wherein said new mesh model includes the base mesh model and said selected mesh feature, and said new mesh model is available for further study, as the geometric mesh model.
