The paper examines how boundary representation (B‑rep) encoders for CAD models fail to handle variations that do not change the underlying solid, such as different modeling operations or software export settings. By demonstrating that existing encoders collapse under these perturbations, the authors introduce the canonical region graph, a representation derived directly from the solid that is theoretically invariant to repartitioning and rigid motions. This new input format matches the best baseline on standard benchmarks and remains stable across all tested perturbations.

Boundary representation (B‑rep) is the standard format for parametric 3D models in CAD systems, yet the same solid can be encoded by different B‑reps due to varying operations, kernel rebuilds, or export settings. Existing B‑rep encoders fail to handle these variations, collapsing on standard benchmarks and real‑world perturbations. The authors introduce the canonical region graph, an input representation derived directly from the solid, which offers theoretical invariance to repartitioning and rigid motions and performs as well as the best baseline while remaining stable across all tested perturbations.

arXiv:2604. 04050v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Flow-matching methods for 3D shape assembly learn point-wise velocity fields that transport parts toward assembled configurations, yet they receive no explicit guidance about which cross-part interactions should drive the motion.
