Abstract
An augmented reality application is proved that enhances on-site visualization and modeling using functional drawings (e.g., P&IDs). The augmented reality application may utilize a 3-D model as a bridge between symbols and lines in a functional drawing and objects (e.g., pieces of equipment) in the physical environment, to allow a user to rapidly locate a symbol or line in the functional drawing that represents a user-selected object (e.g., piece of equipment) in the physical environment or to rapidly locate an object (e.g., piece of equipment) in the physical environment that is represented by a user-selected symbol or line in the functional drawing. The augmented reality application may further allow a user to efficiently modify (e.g., add elements to) a 3-D model based on changes (e.g., additions) to a functional drawing.
