Abstract :
This paper presents solutions to the interactive design of 3D objects with parameterised features and constraints. In the introduction, we describe some new industrial needs in computer-assisted design. In the second part, we give an outline of an object-oriented dual modeller we have developed. The third part is devoted to the parametric and constraint-based design approach. The subject of the last part is design by features and the evolution toward the functional design of complex 3D objects
