Method and apparatus for displaying a geometric CAD object

摘要

A geometric object display method and apparatus and a computer-readable storage medium storing a geometric object display process program, capable of displaying the image of a composite geometric object such that the outline of the object can be grasped by the user at an earlier stage. Composite geometric element data input from an input unit (101) is divided into a plurality of geometric element data sets of each part by a sub-grouping unit (201) of a computing unit (102). The display sequence of the sub-grouped geometric element data is scheduled by a sequence scheduling unit (202), and the sequenced geometric element data is output by an output unit (103) such as a display device. In such a manner, the outline of a composite geometric object can be grasped at an earlier stage when only a fraction of geometric element data is displayed. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
