Abstract
A computer-implemented method and system for rendering a computer-aided design model includes constructing a boundary representation data structure of the model comprising topological data for a face, constructing a data structure representing a parameter space of the face, and decomposing the parameter space into cells, where each cell indicates the presence of the face in the cell. The cells are encoded in a texture construct that is transmitted to a graphics processing unit where further processing renders the face on a computer monitor.
