ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method for generating objects configured for assembly into a scene during assembly time. The method includes the step of associating a magnet with a first object. Further, the method includes the step of associating a target with a second object. The magnet is configured to search for the target within a predefined search range when the magnet is activated. The magnet and the target have alignment data for permitting the first object and the second object to align themselves relative to each other in accordance with the alignment data during the assembly time.
