Abstract
A three-dimensional model is determined from a two-dimensional sketch. Rather than or in addition to modification of 3D constraints to reduce gaps in the 3D model, 2D constraints are modified. The geometry of the 2D sketch is altered in the view plane (x, y) or 2D input instead of maintaining the geometry of the 2D sketch and only modifying in the view direction (z). Gaps may be reduced through alteration of the 2D geometry.
