Claim One:
1. A computing system for generating estimated wall area measurements, the computing system comprising: at least one computer processor; a graphical user interface; and a memory coupled to the at least one computer processor, the memory having computer executable instructions stored on the memory, that, when executed, cause the at least one computer processor to: generate a three dimensional roof model of a roof of a building, the roof model having measurements of the roof including information regarding one or more edges of the roof; render, on the graphical user interface, an aerial image of the building showing an oblique view of the building; render, on the graphical user interface, the roof model overlaid on the roof of the building shown in the aerial image and aligned with the oblique view of the building; receive one or more measurements indicative of one or more distances between one or more reference points on the roof and a ground surface on which the building rests, based at least in part on receipt of an indication from a user of one or more reference points selected in the aerial image rendered on the graphical user interface and indicative of one or more points on the ground surface; generate the ground surface in a corresponding area underneath the roof model based at least in part on the one or more measurements indicative of one or more distances between one or more reference points on the roof and the ground surface; generate, based at least in part on the roof measurements and the ground surface, a three dimensional building model of the building based at least partly on creating one or more wall for the building model by extending the one or more wall from along corresponding edges of the roof toward the ground surface until either intersecting the ground surface or intersecting another surface of the roof in the roof model; render, on the graphical user interface, the building model overlaid on the building shown in the aerial image and aligned with the oblique view of the building; generate an estimated wall area measurement of the building from the building model; and output a wall area measurement estimate report having the estimated wall area measurement of the building thereon, wherein the generated wall estimation report is provided for repair and/or constructing a structure of the building.
