Original Abstract Submitted
A user interface for a lightweight viewer may include, among other things, a viewing window operable to display geometry established by one or more geometric objects of a tessellated model and an information window established by a plurality of content objects of the tessellated model. The content objects are associated with respective layers of the tessellated model that occupy a common display region. The content objects are operable to selectively display information associated with the tessellated model in response to user interaction with the respective content object such that the respective layer is activated but a remainder of the layers are deactivated in the common display region. A method of establishing a tessellated model is also disclosed.
