Systems and methods for creating a two-dimensional representation of a model

摘要

A method of creating a two-dimensional representation of a model. The method including receiving data corresponding to a first component, defining a first component representation corresponding to the first component, the first component representation including one or more closed graphics, a visibility of one or more edges of the one or more closed graphics, and coordinates of the one or more closed graphics that correspond to the first component, defining a structure of the first component representation, determining if the first component includes one more self-occluding and/or mutually occluding closed graphics, based on the determination that the first component includes one or more self-occluding and/or mutually occluding closed graphics, splitting each self-occluding and/or mutually occluding closed graphic into two or more non-occluding closed graphics, defining an occluding order of the closed graphics, and generating an illustration file.

1. A method of creating a two-dimensional representation of a model that includes a first component, the method comprising:
receiving data corresponding to the first component; defining, by a processor, a first component representation corresponding to the first component, the first component representation including one or more closed graphics, wherein the one or more closed graphics are polygons, a visibility of one or more edges of the one or more closed graphics, and coordinates of the one or more closed graphics that correspond to the first component; defining a structure of the first component representation with respect to each of the closed graphics, the visibility of the one or more edges of the one or more closed graphics, and coordinates of the closed graphics that correspond to the first component; determining if the first component includes one more self-occluding and/or mutually occluding closed graphics based on an orientation of the first component; based on the determination that the first component includes one or more self-occluding and/or mutually occluding closed graphics, splitting each self-occluding and/or each mutually occluding closed graphic into two or more non-occluding closed graphics; defining an occluding order of the closed graphics; and generating an illustration file.
