ARGO | Construction Lines

Construction line | What do users mean when they draw this?

In the second semester at GT, we tried to generalize the shape recognition for more applications. Instead of recognizing those predefined shapes such as triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, etc, we are aiming to expand the recognition to any shape, those shapes without names. This April, we completed the first prototype of the software on Rhino. Now it can recognize any embedded shape in a bigger shape. However, users may want more, for instance, two L shapes can be arranged in multiple (infinite) ways, but they may just want one specific way. Thus, to approximately position the shape relationships, we introduce the concept of construction lines to provide users more precise recognition. Here is a demo video link:
