Identifying features in reconstructing 3D solids from sectional views Yamei Wen Hui Zhang School of Software, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China School of Software, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China Email: wenym06@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn Email: huizhang@tsinghua.edu.cn Abstract there is no experimental result provided to demonstrate its practicabilities. Aldefeld[4] and Ho[5] considered sectional Sectional views are widely used in engineering practice views in an alternative volume-based method. However, due to their clear and concise expression. However, large these methods need manual intervention to guide the con- numbers of entities are missing in sectional views that struction of primitives. Lu[6] presented a reconstruction makes it hard for computer to understand drawings. Feature method based on the understanding of semantic information. identification is the key procedure for solids reconstruction Full sections and half sections were discussed.

Based on the analysis of the default made a combination of the wireframe approach and the drawing rules appearing in sectional views, a new algorithm volume-based method to handle 2D views including full sec- is presented to identify and construct elemental objects in tional views. Nevertheless, a sectional view is only regarded the procedure of volume-based 3D solids reconstruction.
