Abstract
The interactive construction and design (CAD) of geometric models is considered. It is found that the user interface manager (UIMS) in such situations could and should include a geometric or even more general modeler, besides its graphics interaction capability. The main task of UIMS is the management of models — how to update them and to operate different tool algorithms on them. A testbed environment (AGX) is programmed to meet these requirements, and used for practical application experiments.
