Abstract
This article contains a description of a constraint solver that determines complete solution spaces. These spaces are defined by sets of constraints in continuous variables. Interactive design is supported through improvements to existing algorithms that have increased system performance. In addition, heuristics for activating the best set of preferred constraints for a design task are presented, and two ways are proposed for interactively exploring design alternatives. IDIOM is an application framework that has successfully tested these algorithms for interactive apartment layout design.
