ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented method edits a surface by displaying a surface rendered from a polygonal mesh defined by mesh elements, selecting, as an edit mesh element, a mesh element displayed in the surface, determining a set of affected mesh elements from the polygonal mesh wherein each affected mesh element is within a specified vicinity of the edit mesh element, editing the edit mesh element in response to user input, and editing the affected mesh elements based on the edited edit mesh element.
