Abstract

A system and method is provided for identifying scale, scale error, or improper positioning during construction or reconstruction of a multi-dimensional (e.g., 3D) building model using known architectural dimensions. The system identifies architectural elements that have known architectural standard dimensions. Dimensional measurements (or dimensional ratios) of architectural elements in the multi-dimensional model (poorly scaled) are compared with known architectural standard dimensions, with or without scale error, to properly scale, rescale or position one or more planes within the multi-dimensional building model.
