that may be applied to the object to thereby change a shape of the object, . . .
displaying a three dimensional wireframe in association with the representation of the
object, the wireframe having a shape defined by one or more modifier parameters that
are associated with the modifier, and the wireframe's shape indicating an approximate
resulting shape of the object when the modifier is applied to the object; generating and
storing a derived object based on the object and the modifiers; and generating and
storing a derived object representation based on the derived object; and generating and
displaying a second visual representation of the object based on the derived object
representation. . . .” Further similarly, independent claim 16 specifies in pertinent part
the following limitations: “creating and storing information in a storage device that
defines one or more modifiers that may be applied to the object to change a shape of
the object, wherein each modifier comprises a modifier type value and one or more
modifier parameter values; . . . displaying a wireframe in association with the
representation of the object, the wireframe having a shape defined by one or more
modifier parameters that are associated with the modifier, the wireframe's shape
indicating an approximate resulting shape of the object when the modifier is applied to
the object; applying the modifiers to the object; and generating and displaying a second
visual representation of the object based on the object and the one of the modifiers. . .
.” Giving the independent claims their broadest, reasonable construction, the limitations
