ABSTRACT:
A method for generating a 2D view (40) of a 3D model (30), the 3D model (30) comprising at least one object (32), wherein a test is made whether or not a predefined 2D representation (52) of the object (32) is available for the 2D view (10, 40), and, if the 2D representation (52) is available, this 2D representation (52) is used in the 2D view (40), and if the 2D representation (52) is not available, a 2D projection (42) of the object (32) is calculated and used in the 2D view (10, 40). A computer program product and an apparatus comprise corresponding features. The invention increases the degree of automation when generating a high-quality 2D view of a 3D model by reducing the amount of manual finishing operations that have hitherto been necessary.
