ABSTRACT:
A method for manipulating a first three-dimensional object, in a computer system including a display, a first software application, and a second software application. The method includes creating a model of the first three-dimensional object with the first software application, which has a first three-dimensional coordinate system. Storing the model of the first three-dimensional object in a model format is also included. The method includes retrieving the model of the first three-dimensional object in the model format into a second software application, the second software application having a second coordinate system, and manipulating a view of the model of the first three-dimensional object with the second software application and within the second coordinate system.
