Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for orienting properties of computer-generated dynamic or simulation models, the method comprising: receiving, at least one computer system in a set of one or more computer systems, information specifying a first pose associated with a curve model; receiving, at least one computer system in the set of one or more computer systems, information specifying a second pose associated with the curve model; receiving, at least one computer system in the set of one or more computer systems, information specifying a first pose associated with a proxy model; receiving, at least one computer system in the set of one or more computer systems, information specifying a second pose associated with the proxy model; determining, with one or more processors associated with one or more computer systems in the set of one or more computer systems, orientation of a property associated with the second pose of the curve model based on orientation of the property with the first pose of the curve model and a difference between orientation of the property with the first pose of the proxy model and orientation of the property with the second pose of the proxy model; and storing information representing the determined orientation of the property associated with the second pose of the curve model in a storage device associated with the set of one or more computer systems.
