However, the techniques and software packages for automatically converting 2D drawings into 3D-CAD models with high precision have not yet been developed due to the difficulties to verify the validity of the drawings, to decide the hidden lines and eoncavo-convex faces, and to represent free-form surfaces. In addition, it is very time consuming to manually convert a large number of 2D drawings into 3D CAD models. To address these problems, we propose an approach for converting 2D drawings into 3D-CAD models automatically.展开更多
