SYSTEM FOR ACQUIRING PROFILE INFORMATION FROM THREE-DIMENSIONAL PROFILE DATA, ITS METHOD AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE PROGRAM

摘要

In order to circumvent the problems above, the present invention aims to expand the scope of the usage of the information included in three-dimensional shape data by acquiring the shape information included in the three-dimensional shape data automatically on a shape element basis and setting linkages across the acquired information. Linked processing can be performed across the corresponding shape information having different shape elements by adding a linkage identifier to the shape information when generating the shape information from the three-dimensional shape data. For example, when processing for a single shape information is carried out, other shape information can be edited by linkage.
