Automatic generation of 3D drawing objects based on a 2D design input

摘要

Methods and systems are directed to improving the convenience of drawing applications. Some examples include generating 3D drawing objects using a drawing application and selecting one based on a 2D design (in some cases a hand-drawn sketch) provided by a user. The user provided 2D design is separated into an outline perimeter and interior design, and corresponding vectors are then generated. These vectors are then used with analogous vectors generated for drawing objects. The selection of a drawing object to correspond to the 2D design is based on finding a drawing object having a minimum difference between its vectors and the vectors of the 2D design. The selected drawing object is then used to generate a drawing object configured to receive edits from the user. This reduces the inconvenience required to manually reproduce the 2D design in the drawing application.
