Abstract
The invention includes computer instructions that operate to receive a selection of a face of a first three-dimensional solid geometry piece, where the first three-dimensional solid geometry piece has a bend area. The instructions operate to receive a depiction of a two-dimensional geometry piece on the face for specifying a cutout feature cutting through the first three-dimensional solid geometry piece. Then, the instructions operate to determine whether the cutout feature, as specified through the depiction of the two-dimensional geometry piece, cuts through the bend area. If cutout feature cuts through the bend area, the instructions operate to automatically generate a number of temporary geometry pieces representative of a three-dimensional geometry piece corresponding to the cutout feature cutting through the bend area in the first three-dimensional solid geometry piece. As a result, cutout features through varying surface areas may be simply generated and visualized.
