1. A method of correcting scale for a multi-dimensional building model comprises:

  • identifying an architectural element located on a plane of the multi-dimensional building model, wherein the identified architectural element includes at least one roof element including one or more of;

    shingles, gables, eaves, dormers, and gutters;

    determining one or more positions of the identified architectural element;

    selecting a known relative position of a known similar architectural element, wherein the known relative position of a known similar architectural element includes construction industry standards of a predetermined architectural standard position of a known similar architectural element relative to a building plane;

    comparing the determined one or more positions of the identified architectural element to the selected known relative positions of the known similar architectural element to determine an error in position of the identified architectural element;

    determining a scale for the plane of the identified architectural element based on the error in position of the identified architectural element; and

    scaling one or more planes of the multi-dimensional building model according to the determined scale.
