Claim 18:
19. A method for interactively integrating a primary three-dimensional (3D) rendering into a secondary 3D rendering comprising steps of:
providing at least one plugin;
providing at least one application programing interface (API); and
providing at least one computer comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory computer readable medium, the at least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that when executed cause the at least one computer to implement steps to:
cause, by the at least one processor, second 3D model data to be sent to the at least one API;
cause, by the at least one processor, said at least one API to send said second 3D model data to the at least one plugin;
cause, by the at least one processor, said at least one plugin to compare first 3D model data to said second 3D model data;
generate, by the at least one processor, combined 3D model data comprising a combination of said first 3D model data and said second 3D model data;
return, by the at least one processor, said combined 3D model data to the at least one API;
cause, by the at least one processor, the API to send the combined 3D model data to at least one 3D rendering software; and
cause, by the at least one processor, the at least one 3D rendering software to generate a second 3D model rendering that comprises the combined 3D model data.
