Abstract
In this paper, a 3-D solid modelling method appropriate for the design of furniture parts, which has been used in FCAD (Computer Aided Design for Furniture Structure) system, is introduced. Some interactive functions for modifying part models and deriving a variety of practical parts are described. Finally the application of the modelling method to computer aided manufacturing of furniture parts is prospected.
