  • System and method for presenting three-dimensional data
    Patent number: 7068269
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for presenting data such as CAD data and three-dimensional graphic design data. The presentation method includes a set of one or more pages upon which objects are arranged. The objects may be associated with models, images, text, or buttons. For example, an object may be a walkthrough object associated with a three-dimensional model. The method also includes a means for synchronizing data sets. For example, a two-dimensional floor plan may be synchronized with a three-dimensional walkthrough.
