Abstract
This paper presents a shared virtual workspace in which geographically separated groups can collaborate on the design of constraint- based solid models. Iris Inventor graphical toolkit has been extended to support the shared virtual workspace. An interactive constraint-based solid modeller is used as a server within this shared virtual workspace to support collaborative constraint-based solid modelling and assembly modelling. The interactive constraint-based solid modeller integrates the direct interaction techniques and geometric constraints to support the intuitive construction of constraint-based solid models.
