A combined viewer-spreadsheet application provides display of (i) a spreadsheet including a tree window for an extendable tree structure of an object and (ii) a three dimensional (3D) model of the object. A user of the application is able to add one or more columns or arrays to the tree structure and to reflect in the 3D model the values of elements of the columns or arrays added. The tree structure includes at least one assembly, a plurality of subassemblies forming the assembly, and a plurality of parts for each of the subassemblies.

Method, system and software for visualizing 3D models

A method is provided for degrading 3D information such as a 3D image file from its original form so that that the subject matter of the 3D image is altered in a way which prevents one from reverse engineering or manufacturing the subject matter of the 3D image while the degraded image is still identifiable or recognizable as that of the original 3D image. The degrading method selectively alters dimensions or relationships between portions or parts of the 3D image from their original form while maintaining the integrity and recognizablility of the image as that of which was in the original 3D image. The present method can be applied to both original CAD files as well as reduced or lightweight files produced from an original CAD file.

Degrading 3D information

The invention relates to a method and a device for constructing and viewing a computer model image. The invention comprises the following steps: at least one zone of the image is selected; the part of the image that is located outside the selected zone () is displayed with standard display attributes; specific display attributes are defined for the objects to be displayed in the selected zone (); and the part of the image that is located inside the selected zone () is displayed with the specific display attributes.
