Further, a processor presents a model associated with the object, associates the inspection data with the related portion of the object; and presents an indication of availability of the inspection data on a portion of the presented model. The portion of the presented model relates to the portion of the object associated with the inspection data. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: obtaining, via a processor, a computer-presentable model relating to an object being inspected; determining, via the processor, a portion of model relating to a portion of the object to be inspected; inspecting, via an inspection tool, the portion of the object to gather inspection data; associating, via the processor, an indicator of the portion of the model with the gathered inspection data. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the computer-presentable model is a generic model associated with the object, wherein the generic model provides basic features of the object. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the computer-presentable model is a specific model associated with the object, wherein the specific model provides detailed features of the object. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein associating the indicator of the portion of the model with the gathered inspection data comprises defining a relationship in a database between at least the indicator of the portion of the model and the gathered inspection data. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein associating the indicator of the portion of the model with the gathered inspection data comprises appending a relational attribute to a file containing the model, the portion of the model, the gathered inspection data, or any combination thereof. ### Claim 6 An system, comprising: computer-readable storage configured to store non-destructive testing inspection data relating to a portion of an object that has been inspected; a processor configured to: present a model associated with the object; associate the inspection data with the related portion of the object; and present an indication of availability of the inspection data on a portion of the presented model, where the portion of the presented model relates to the portion of the object associated with the inspection data. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the model associated with the object is a generalized model that provides basic features of the object; and wherein the processor is configured to present the indication on the generalized model. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the model comprises a 2-dimensional (2D) or 3D model. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the processor is configured to provide an indication on the model of an amount of inspection data available for each portion of the object. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the processor is configured to provide an indication of a characteristic of the inspection data. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the characteristic comprises the freshness of the inspection data. ### Claim 12 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the indication comprises a wire frame, an indication icon, or any combination thereof. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The system of claim 12, wherein the indication is altered to illustrate a characteristic of indication data. ### Claim 14 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6, wherein the indication comprises a wire frame and the wire frame thickness, spacing, or both, is altered to illustrate a freshness of the inspection data, an amount of inspection data, or both. ### Claim 15 A tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising machine-readable instructions to: present a model associated with the object; associate the inspection data with the related portion of the object; and present an indication of availability of the inspection data on a portion of the presented model, where the portion of the presented model relates to the portion of the object associated with the inspection data. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The machine-readable medium of claim 15, comprising instructions to alter the indication based upon a characteristic of the data. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The machine-readable medium of claim 16, comprising instructions to alter a color of the indication. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The machine-readable medium of claim 15, comprising instructions to present a label with the indication, the label providing supplemental information about the indication. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The machine-readable medium of claim 15, comprising instructions to present a variation map representative of relative variances in the inspection data. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The machine-readable medium of claim 15, comprising instruction to: obtain a selection of a portion of the model; determine inspection data that is associated with the selection; and present the inspection data associated with the selection.
