1. A design aiding apparatus comprising:
- a display controller configured to display on a display module a three-dimensional part model having a plurality of surfaces defined by a coordinate system defined by three coordinate axes that are perpendicular to one another;
a receiving module configured to receive an operation designating one of the coordinate axes as a designated coordinate axis; and
a selecting module configured to select surfaces corresponding to the designated coordinate axis from the surfaces based on corresponding axis identification information that identifies a surface corresponding to each of the coordinate axes.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, a design aiding apparatus includes a display controller, a receiving module, and a selecting module. The display controller displays on a display module a three-dimensional part model having a plurality of surfaces defined by a coordinate system defined by three coordinate axes that are perpendicular to one another. The receiving module receives an operation designating one of the coordinate axes as a designated coordinate axis. The selecting module selects surfaces corresponding to the designated coordinate axis from the surfaces based on corresponding axis identification information that identifies a surface corresponding to each of the coordinate axes.
