Estimating the term…
The invention relates to a method and a computer-aided modelling system for creating a technical drawing from at least two modelled 3D bodies that collide with one another. In a first step, one or more of the regions of the 3D bodies that are affected by the collision are selected. In a second step, a group of colliding faces of the selected regions of the two or more 3D bodies are combined to form a respective collision group and a technical drawing of the two or more colliding modelled 3D bodies is produced. A 2D edge or its associated boundary of a face that belongs to a collision group is treated by masking the other faces that are associated with the same collision group.
Method for creating a technical drawing of at least two 3D bodies that collide with one another, including at least the following steps:
Computer aided modelling system for creating a technical drawing of at least two 3D bodies that collide with one another comprising an input unit for inputting commands and data for generating and modifying the two 3D bodies that collide with one another, a modelling unit for calculating the two 3D bodies that collide with one another, a functional unit for determining regions of the at least two 3D bodies that are affected by a collision, a grouping unit for grouping colliding faces of the regions affected by the collision to form a collision group, a projection unit for creating a technical drawing and a selection unit for masking, when producing a drawing, individual colliding faces that belong to a collision group.
