Three-dimensional model processing system
First Claim
1. A three-dimensional model processing system for displaying a three-dimensional model representing a solid figure on a flat display, comprising:
- three-dimensional storage means for storing data of the three-dimensional model;
position input means for receiving a user'"'"'s designation of a specific location which is located on the three-dimensional model in the three dimensional coordinate system, wherein the specific location is an end point on the solid figure; and
display control means for, based on the specific location on the three-dimensional model that has been designated by a user with said position input means and on the data of the three-dimensional model stored in said three-dimensional model storage means, computing a direction from which the three-dimensional model is viewed and displaying the three-dimensional model on the flat display corresponding to a result of the computation.

Abstract
The three-dimensional model processing system comprises a three-dimensional model storage unit that stores three-dimensional model data; position input unit that receives the user'"'"'s designation of a specific location on a three-dimensional model on a flat display, for example a corner; and display control unit that computes the direction from which the three-dimensional model is being viewed, based on the specific location which the user designated on the three-dimensional model using the position input unit and the three-dimensional model data stored in the three-dimensional model storage unit, and displays the three-dimensional model on a flat display according to the result of that computation.
