Abstract
Disclosed are a system and method for providing a three-dimensional graphic-user interface operator experience real-time feedback to modification to three-dimensional objects projected onto a computer display screen. Three-dimensional data is modified in surface space and then transformed from surface space to object space and then transformed again so that it can be projected to screen space. In transforming from surface space to object space, the data is characterized so that appropriate steps can be taken to cause the transformation.
