A computer-implemented method and system modifies a pre-existing surface. The invention method/product/data storage medium/system generates an outline of a shape of an object, which is a curve. A reference surface is then created by extruding the curve. Selected entities of the pre-existing surface are projected to a location on the reference surface, after which the pre-existing surface is regenerated using the location for each entity to calculate a modified pre-existing surface.

Interactive surface alignment

A computer-implemented method and system create a three-dimensional (3D) model represented by a sub-division surface and defining a solid or a surface model. A selected entity of the 3D model is selected and with one or more surrounding entities a determination is made of a type of operation to perform. The operation is an add operation or a remove operation, and the operation changes the topology of the 3D model.

Modifying a sub-division model based on the topology of a selection

Special multidimensional spacing for building elements of a toy construction system are described herein. Various coupling elements and configurations are described providing combinations of building elements in standard and offset alignments. In addition, special building elements provide various multidimensional alignments between standard building elements.

Multidimensional alignment spacing for toy building elements

A toy figure assembly can be interconnected to construct a toy figure. The mating parts of the toy figure assembly are structured for friction fit attachment and include an upper body part including a neck portion and a trunk portion; a lower body part including a rod portion, a stud portion, a legs portion, and a feet portion; and arm parts having a hand portion, a forearm portion, an elbow portion, an upper arm portion, and a shoulder portion.
