Computer-Implemented Method For Determining Exploded Paths Of An Exploded View Of An Assembly Of Three-Dimensional Modeled Objects
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining exploded paths of an exploded view of an assembly of three-dimensional modeled objects comprising the steps of:
- displaying (1) in a main frame an exploded view of the assembly in a scene;
computing (2) at least one set of exploded paths, an exploded path corresponding to a set of at least one exploded line linking at least one object of the assembly;
displaying (3) a list (LIST) of thumbnails (TH1, TH2, TH3), a thumbnail corresponding to at least one possible set of computed exploded paths of the assembly;
selecting (4) one thumbnail (TH3) among the list of thumbnails; and
displaying (5) the selected thumbnail (TH3).

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining exploded path of an exploded view of an assembly of three-dimensional modeled objects comprising the steps of displaying (1) in a main frame an exploded view of the assembly in a scene; computing (2) at least one set of exploded paths, an exploded path corresponding to a set of at least one exploded line linking at least one object of the assembly; displaying (3) a list of thumbnails, a thumbnail corresponding to at least one possible set of computed exploded paths of the assembly; selecting (4) one thumbnail among the list of thumbnails; and displaying (5) the selected thumbnail.

13. A computer system comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer readable medium having computer-executable instructions that cause the processor to determine exploded paths of an exploded view of an assembly of three-dimensional modeled objects by; displaying (1) in a main frame an exploded view of the assembly in a scene; computing (2) at least one set of exploded paths, an exploded path corresponding to a set of at least one exploded line linking at least one object of the assembly; displaying (3) a list (LIST) of thumbnails (TH1, TH2, TH3), a thumbnail corresponding to at least one possible set of computed exploded paths of the assembly; selecting (4) one thumbnail (TH3) among the list of thumbnails; and displaying (5) the selected thumbnail (TH3).

14. A computer program product, comprising:
-
a computer readable medium, for determining exploded paths of an exploded view of an assembly of three-dimensional modeled objects, comprising code means; and the code means causing one or more computers to;
display (1) in a main frame an exploded view of the assembly in a scene;compute (2) at least one set of exploded paths, an exploded path corresponding to a set of at least one exploded line linking at least one object of the assembly; display (3) a list (LIST) of thumbnails (TH1, TH2, TH3), a thumbnail corresponding to at least one possible set of computed exploded paths of the assembly; select (4) one thumbnail (TH3) among the list of thumbnails; and display (5) the selected thumbnail (TH3).

15. A computer apparatus for determining exploded paths of an exploded view of an assembly of three-dimensional modeled objects comprising:
-
means for implementing displaying (1) in a main frame an exploded view of the assembly in a scene; computing means for computing (2) at least one set of exploded paths, an exploded path corresponding to a set of at least one exploded line linking at least one object of the assembly; display means for displaying (3) a list (LIST) of thumbnails (TH1, TH2, TH3), a thumbnail corresponding to at least one possible set of computed exploded paths of the assembly; user selection means for selecting (4) one thumbnail (TH3) among the list of thumbnails; and the display means further responsively displaying (5) the selected thumbnail (TH3).
