Abstract
The present invention provides an interference check result displaying method, by which a rough position and a precise position of a representative point at which contact or interference occurs between objects present in a virtual three-dimensional space. Consequently, not only a rough position but also a precise position of a representative point at which contact or interference occurs can be recognized readily. Further, also in a case wherein such a real time performance as to perform an interference check while an object is moved or rotated, a rough position and a precise position of a representative point at which contact/interference occurs can be recognized similarly readily. Also where a plurality of representative points are present, a designated representative point can be identified readily from other representative points, and also representative points which are hidden by different objects can be recognized readily.
