An Extended Rounding Operation for Modeling Solids with Free-Form Surfaces

  • Conference paper
Computer Graphics 1987

Abstract

The authors propose an extended rounding operation as a tool for modeling solids with free-form surfaces. Using the rounding operation, the edges and vertices of a solid can be locally rounded, and those parts of the solid are changed to free-form surfaces. The user inputs information about which edges should be rounded and about radii of curves generated by the operation. This facility has been implemented in our solid modeling system DESIGNBASE.
