Sheet metal model creation device and sheet metal model creation method

Abstract

A sheet metal model creation device (1) for creating a sheet metal model while displaying a three-view drawing includes: a three-view drawing reader (13) configured to read three-view drawing information and display the three-view drawing on a screen; a three-view drawing display controller (15); a three-dimensional face creator (17) configured to create a three-dimensional face associated with an element of the three-view drawing selected on the screen in response to an operation of a mouse; and a model display controller (19) configured to combine the three-dimensional face with the sheet metal model and display the model. Here, the operation of the mouse is movement of a mouse (7), and selection of the element of the three-view drawing on the screen is selection of an element within a region that is based on a position of a mouse pointer associated with the movement of the mouse (7).
