METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING A CONFIGURATION PLATFORM

Abstract:

A method of and a system for propagating a configuration setting of a 3D model to other 3D models, the 3D model and the other 3Ds being part of a same 3D model category. The 5 method comprises dividing the 3D model into a first plurality of surfaces; associating to each one of the first plurality of surfaces, a unique surface identifier. For each one of the other 3D models, the method comprises dividing the one of the other 3D models into a second plurality of surfaces; establishing a correspondence; associating, for each one of the second plurality of surfaces corresponding to one of the first plurality of surfaces. The method also comprises 0 selecting the configuration setting of the 3D model; determining the unique identifier of the 3D model to which the configuration setting is to be applied; and propagating, the configuration setting to the other 3D models.
