Abstract :
An effective 3D method incorporating user assistance for modeling complex buildings is proposed. This method utilizes the connectivity and similar structure information among unit blocks in a multi-component building structure, to enable the user to incrementally construct models of many types of buildings. The system attempts to minimize the time and the number of user interactions needed to assist an existing automatic system in this task. Several examples are presented that demonstrate significant improvement and efficiency compared with other approaches and with purely manual systems
