Abstract
This paper presents an interactive graphical system for modeling three-dimensional objects. An object can be specified by a graphical interface or alternatively, by entering a textual description. Both interface styles are integrated in a graphical programming environment. Geometric relations between objects are specified by constraints between local coordinate systems. The user can define constraints graphically and constraints are evaluated real-time. The combination of a direct manipulation interface and a procedural modeling language makes it possible to define and modify parametrized part hierarchies graphically.
