Abstract
This study presents the M method system operating on the 3D-CAD (Computer Aided Design) software in order to enable designers to employ the M method effectively in the design activity. The M method is a new thinking method that allows various uses to conduct both unrestricted and rational thinking. This study proposed the M method system by analyzing the questionnaire survey conducted in the design workshop of M method. This system can perform all design process of M method by digitizing the process of sketch creation and design element extraction. This makes it easier to organize the design elements. Additionally, the effectivity of the proposed M method system was verified through the questionnaire survey. And the questionnaire revealed M method system had problem related to operability. Therefore, M method system was improved with the problem and, verified the effectiveness through the additional questionnaire survey to experts of design. In the result, it showed that M method system was effective.
