Abstract
A method, apparatus and article of manufacture for creating daylighted objects by drawing projection lines from an intersection of two objects. Once the intersection between a plane of one object and a face or plane of another object is determined, a polyline with at least one vertex is created comprising at least one edge of the intersection of the plane and the face. Projection lines are then drawn from each vertex of the polyline to the object such that the projection lines intersect the object.
