3D Model Creation Support System and Method

Abstract

A 3D model creation support system which supports creation of a 3D model with attribute of an object configured with a plurality of configuration elements connected to each other, and a method thereof is provided. A system information database 41 in which system information including connection relationships between the plurality of configuration elements is registered; a shape model library 43 in which shape models corresponding to each of the plurality of configuration elements are registered; configuration element selection means 42 that selects configuration elements whose 3D models are not created among the plurality of configuration elements, based on the system information which is registered in the system information database; and configuration element identification means 44 that acquires a predetermined shape model corresponding to a predetermined configuration element which is selected by the configuration element selection means from the shape model library and creates a 3D model of the predetermined configuration element by matching the predetermined shape model to the point group data, are included.
