Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for generating a first 3D model and a second 3D model of corresponding first and second objects both depicted in a 2D image, the 2D image having associated 3D information, the method comprising: inputting the 2D image and the associated 3D information including 3D point location information corresponding to a physical location of at least one point located on a surface of the first and second objects; displaying, on a display, the 2D image and the at least one point on the surface of the first and second objects in the 2D image, without displaying a geometric primitive; determining, after inputting and displaying the at least one point on the surface of the first and second objects, geometric primitives that correspond to shape characteristics of the first and second objects displayed on the display, based on an input by an operator via a user input device, and indicating the determined geometric primitives via the user input device, the determined geometric primitives not sharing a location of the at least one point located on the surface of the first and second objects; characterizing a relationship between the first and second objects, based on an input by the operator; and generating, by a processor, 3D models for the first and second objects based on the geometric primitives, the 2D image, the associated 3D information and the characterized relationship.
