INTERACTIVE THREE-DIMENSIONAL REPRESENTATIONS OF OBJECTS

A method includes receiving data characterizing a target surface extending in three dimensions. The method also includes rendering in a graphical user interface display space, a first visual representation including a two-dimensional image of a first portion of the target surface, and a second visual representation including a three-dimensional representation of at least a subset of the first portion of the target surface included in the first visual representation. The method further includes receiving, based on a first user interaction with the three-dimensional representation via a cursor configured to move over the three-dimensional representation, a first user input indicative of selection of a first location of the target surface. The method also includes rendering a first graphical object at a first target position in the three-dimensional representation and a second graphical object at a second target position in the two-dimensional image. The first and the second target positions are indicative of the first location of the target surface.
