Abstract
Discusses a virtual reality design system (VRDS) for solid modelling. A Constraint-Based Representation Scheme is proposed to maintain the solid models in terms of geometric constraints, and to enable more intelligent support for designers than current parametric modelling systems. In particular, the authors introduce allowable motions to constrain 3D manipulation of a solid model in an intuitive way. Moreover, they provide a set of Virtual Design Tools for the designer to perform the drafting and constraint-assignment functions in the same way as with physical drafting tools
