1. A method for visualizing a three-dimensional model of an object in a two-dimensional environment, the method comprising:

  • receiving, with a processor, from a user, an import request to import the two-dimensional environment to be used as a background for the three-dimensional model;

    importing, with the processor, based on the import request, the two-dimensional environment;

    receiving, with the processor, from the user, a superimposing request to superimpose the three-dimensional model of the object onto the two-dimensional environment;

    superimposing, with the processor, the three-dimensional model of the object onto the two-dimensional environment based on the superimposing request;

    superimposing, with the processor, a shadow of the three-dimensional model of the object onto one or more planes of the two-dimensional environment, the three-dimensional model positioned away from the one or more planes; and

    displaying, with the processor, the three-dimensional model of the object on the two-dimensional environment and the shadow on the one or more planes of the two-dimensional environment for guiding a positioning of the three-dimensional model of the object within the two-dimensional environment.
