A method for generating a 2D view ( 40 ) of a 3D model ( 30 ), the 3D model ( 30 ) comprising at least one object ( 32 ), wherein a test is made whether or not a predefined 2D representation ( 52 ) of the object ( 32 ) is available for the 2D view ( 10, 40 ), and, if the 2D representation ( 52 ) is available, this 2D representation ( 52 ) is used in the 2D view ( 40 ), and if the 2D representation ( 52 ) is not available, a 2D projection ( 42 ) of the object ( 32 ) is calculated and used in the 2D view ( 10, 40 ). A computer program product and an apparatus comprise corresponding features. The invention increases the degree of automation when generating a high-quality 2D view of a 3D model by reducing the amount of manual finishing operations that have hitherto been necessary.
