Q. How can I create a 3D image from several photos? I want to trace a photo and designate building lines then I want to use several photos of the same building taken from different view points. Is it possible to create a 3D image of a building in this way?
Yes. This is one of the most common ways to make a 3D model. However, you still do need measurements and dimensions if you need to it be really accurate and to scale. You can use the PhotoMatch feature in SketchUp if you want to create a 3D view. The main point of PhotoMatch is to help you to produce or define a view of a model that duplicates the view angle and field of view of a particular photo, allowing you to do before and after comparisons or insert a picture of your model into the context of the photograph.
