SUPPORT APPARATUS, THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL DISPLAY DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD AND PROGRAM THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display the three-dimensional models of the same shape together if the shape of final three-dimensional model is different depending on the order in which blend is executed.SOLUTION: From a target part of a three-dimensional model displayed by an application are accepted plural sites containing an intersection point as edge parts for which blend surface treatment is executed. When the blend surface treatment is completed for all the accepted edge parts of the plural sites, an execution order pattern is determined in which execution order of a user-operable blend surface treatment is changed for all the accepted edge parts of the plural sites. The volumetric capacity of each three-dimensional model created at execution of the determined execution order pattern is calculate, and the three-dimensional models of the same determined volumetric capacity are grouped. The grouped three-dimensional models are displayed such that the three-dimensional models can be compared with each other as simulation after the blend surface treatment is completed for all the accepted edge parts of the plural sites.
