Abstract
Various disclosed embodiments include a method to be performed by a data processing system and including identifying an original curve and an intended location of a new curve in a CAD model. The method also includes generating a transition curve from the original curve. The method further includes determining a displacement function of the new curve and applying the displacement function to the transition curve. The displacement function includes two or more control points. The method includes combining the two or more control points into one transition curve control point. The method also includes adjusting the transition curve control point based on a fullness value so that transition curve overlays the location of the new curve.
