Abstract
A three-dimensional model processing apparatus includes a three-dimensional data-format converter for converting the data format of three-dimensional data inputted by a three-dimensional data input unit, a three-dimensional data processor for processing the three-dimensional data converted by the three-dimensional data-format converter, a three-dimensional model creating unit for creating a three-dimensional model from the three-dimensional data processed by the three-dimensional processor, and a three-dimensional model editor for editing the three-dimensional model created by the three-dimensional model creating unit and applying operations to the shape data. A three-dimensional model is created and edited irrespective of the type of three-dimensional data inputted in different modes.
