Patent ID: 11468208

Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for linking a two-dimensional (2D) design image to a three-dimensional (3D) design model. One method comprises receiving a 2D design document and a 3D design file, the 2D design document comprising a 2D design image and the 3D design file comprising a 3D design model including design elements. The 3D design model is converted to a coded 2D design image. A unique identifier is determined for each design element based on the coded 2D design image, and stored in association with the respective design element in the 3D design file. Upon a user selection of a point in the 2D design image, detailed information on the design element corresponding to the user-selected point may be retrieved from the 3D design file. The retrieval may be based on matching a code associated with the user-selected point to a unique identifier in the 3D design file.
