Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, including: receiving, by a shape modeling computer program, a selection of first geometry defined in a data structure used by the computer program to represent a three-dimensional model of an object and an indication of an amount of complexity reduction, The computer program produces a second geometry defined in the data structure based on the indication of the amount of indicated complexity reduction and taking into account local shape curvature for the first geometry, where the second geometry replaces the first geometry in representing the three-dimensional model of the object. The computer program provides the three-dimensional model of the object, with the second geometry included in the three-dimensional model, for use in manufacturing a physical structure corresponding to the object using one or more computer-controlled manufacturing systems, or for use in displaying the object on a display screen.
