Abstract
A variety of techniques are disclosed for customizing a digital model of an aesthetic housing to receive a functional component and an interface component for the functional component.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving a selection of a three-dimensional aesthetic housing in a user interface;
- receiving a selection of a functional component in the user interface;
- identifying an interface component for the functional component;
- automatically determining a position for the functional component in a digital model of the aesthetic housing;
- automatically determining a second position for the interface component on an attachment point of the digital model of the aesthetic housing;
- and
- modifying a three-dimensional shape of the digital model of the aesthetic housing to receive the functional component and the interface component, thereby providing a customized model.

A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executing on one or more computing devices, performs the steps of:
- receiving a selection of a three-dimensional aesthetic housing in a user interface;
- receiving a selection of a functional component in the user interface;
- identifying an interface component for the functional component;
- automatically determining a position for the functional component in a digital model of the aesthetic housing;
- automatically determining a second position for the interface component on an attachment point of the digital model of the aesthetic housing;
- and
- modifying to three-dimensional shape of the digital model of the aesthetic housing to receive the functional component and the interface component, thereby providing a customized model.
