Structural Sketcher - Representing and Applying Well-Structured Graphic Representations in Early Design

-Computational drawing support has the potential to improve design support in the early phase. Much work in this area is devoted to input of design information, manipulation, and presentation. For intuitive manipulation, Structural Sketcher incorporates the "paper and scissors" metaphor, and introduces a novel UI-concept called the KITE. Performance of the system has been tested on a quantitative and qualitative basis. The system shows the benefit that graphic units can bring to drawing support, and how these can be implemented. To conclude, limitations and further work are discussed.
