Patent ID: 8405652

Claim:
A method of visually representing a form, the method comprising: identifying a plurality of objects in the form; identifying a hierarchical relationship between the plurality of objects; upon selection, using at least one processor, displaying a two-dimensional representation of the form including a two-dimensional representation of each object of the plurality of objects and the hierarchical relationship between the plurality of objects, the hierarchical relationship between the plurality of objects being shown by a position of the two-dimensional representation of each object in the two-dimensional representation of the form; upon the selection, retrieving a three-dimensional representation of each of the plurality of objects in the two-dimensional representation of the form, the three-dimensional representation of each of the plurality of objects being a three-dimensional model generated using three-dimensional modeling; and displaying a three-dimensional representation of the form including the three-dimensional representation of each object of the plurality of objects of the two-dimensional representation of the form and the hierarchical relationship between the plurality of objects, the hierarchical relationship between the plurality of objects in the three-dimensional representation being shown by a position of the three-dimensional representation of each object in the three-dimensional representation of the form.
