Systems and methods for estimation of building wall area and producing a wall estimation report

A method, comprising:

• generating, with a computer processor coupled to a non-transitory computer memory, a 3D model of walls of a structure based on a 3D model of a roof of the structure;
• storing the 3D model of the walls of the structure in the non-transitory computer memory;
• generating, with the computer processor using the 3D model of the walls of the structure, a wall area measurement estimate report displaying multiple line drawings of a building having a roof, each of the multiple line drawings from a different corresponding angle of view of the building, wherein at least four of the multiple line drawings are elevation views of different sides of the building from a corresponding first, second, third and fourth angle of view of the building, respectively, and wherein the first and third angles of view are of exterior walls of the building facing substantially opposite each other and wherein the second and fourth angles of view are of exterior walls of the building facing substantially opposite each other;
• generating, in one or more of the elevation views of the building, a shading of an edge of a wall to designate that the edge of the wall is behind another wall in a corresponding view of the one or more of the elevation views of the building;
• and
• providing the wall area measurement estimate report for repair and/or construction of a structure of the building.

• and
• providing the wall area measurement estimate report for repair and/or construction of a structure of the building.

• showing in each of the elevation views of the building, only walls which are designated as facing a viewer in the corresponding a first, second and fourth angle of view of the elevation views, wherein the showing in each of the elevation views of the building, only walls which are designated as facing the viewer in the corresponding first, second and fourth angle of view of the elevation views includes:
• designating, for each of first, second and fourth angle of view, which walls are facing the viewer for the angle of view based on a difference in the angle of the walls with respect to the angle of view;

• and
• determining the corresponding first, second, third and fourth angle of view of the building for the corresponding elevation view by:
• determining angles of substantially all vertical walls of the building relative to a reference vertical plane;
• grouping angles of substantially all vertical walls of the building into corresponding groups of walls which have similar orientation angles relative to an orientation of a reference vertical plane within a defined threshold difference between each other in the orientation angles;
• selecting a corresponding group of walls resulting from the grouping that has the most walls having similar orientation angles within a defined threshold difference between each other in the orientation angles;
• and
• determining the first angle of view based on the selected corresponding group of walls such that the first angle of view is substantially facing the corresponding group of walls;

• providing the wall area measurement estimate report for repair and/or construction of a structure of the building.
