Three dimensional defect mapping
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for providing a three dimensional presentation of defects in a system, the computer implemented method comprising:
- responsive to a request to present a set of defects using a three dimensional presentation, retrieving information for the set of defects from a database, wherein the information includes an identification of a defect and a location of the defect in the system;
retrieving a three dimensional model of the system in which the set of defects is located;
generating a three dimensional model of the set of defects using the identification and the location of each defect in the set of defects, wherein the three dimensional model of the set of defects comprises a three dimensional defect indicator that represents a defect in the set of defects at the location of the defect in the system;
combining the three dimensional model of the set of defects with the three dimensional model of the system to form a modified three dimensional model;
presenting the modified three dimensional model on a graphical user interface; and
presenting a two-dimensional diagram associated with the three dimensional defect indicator comprising an example of the defect.

Abstract
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for a three dimensional presentation of defects in a system. In response to a request to present a set of defects using a three dimensional presentation, information is retrieved for the set of defects from a database, wherein the information includes an identification of a defect and a location of the defect in the system. A three dimensional model of the system is retrieved in which the defects are located. The defects are placed in the three dimensional model of the system to generate a modified three dimensional model. The modified three dimensional model is presented on a graphical user interface.
