CSG Feature Trees from Engineering Sketches of Polyhedral Shapes (English)

We give a method to obtain a 3D CSG model from a 2D engineering wireframe sketch which depicts a polyhedral shape. The method finds a CSG feature tree compatible with a reverse design history of a 2D line-drawing obtained by vectorising the sketch. The process used seeks the CSG feature tree recursively, combining all design or manufacturing features embedded in the sketch, proceeding in reverse order from the most detailed features to the blank.
