Patent ID: 7203634

Claim:
A computational geometry system, comprising: a server having processing circuitry and an operation manager configured to translate in stages a plurality of geometric entities provided by source geometric data in a source geometric model to target geometric data in a target geometric model, and operative to identify discrepancies, if any, in the geometric data therebetween; a communication link; at least one client communicating with the server over the communication link; and an interrupt interface provided by one of the at least one client and the server and which temporarily interrupts the operation manager from translating the source geometric data to the target geometric data in response to the operation manager identifying at least one discrepancy in the target geometric data relative to the source geometric data within one geometric entity, and notifies a user of a presence of an inability to automatically generate an accurate representation of the source geometric model in the target geometric model by temporarily interrupting the operation manager from translating the source geometric data to the target geometric data, prior to translating subsequent geometric entities to the target model, provides information to the user and allows the user to help fix the at least one discrepancy and to enables the operation manager to continue translating the source geometric data to the target geometric data.
