SIMULTANEOUS USE OF 2D AND 3D MODELING DATA

摘要

Computerized systems for the modeling of real-word objects can include model generation functionality whereby a model is constructed from two-dimensional representations. The functions can include the ability to import two-dimensional representations of a three-dimensional object and arrange the representations on virtual surfaces positioned in a three-dimensional modeling space. The virtual surfaces are positioned to correspond to surfaces on which projections of a three-dimensional model under construction by the user are rendered. A user can interactively construct the three-dimensional model of the object by selecting and manipulating entities of the imported two-dimensional representations and the system can simultaneously display the two-dimensional projections and the three-dimensional model.
