ABSTRACT
This paper describes a new method, using genetic algorithms, for transforming non-orthogonal geometric models into orthogonal polygon models. The algorithm is applied to a series of non-orthogonal models and the results compared with those obtained from a fuzzy logic approach [1]. A similarity measure is defined to assess and compare the success of the transformations.
