2149307 9411700 PCTABS00032 An apparatus and method for creating a computer model of a large three dimensional object as data is acquired. The invention (10) includes a measuring device (12), a computer (16) that includes a computer aided drafting program, a data transmission device (14), and a viewing screen (30). The measuring device (12) includes a distance measuring device (32) that takes measurements from a stable, movable location. The location of measured points is calculated based upon the distance to the measured point and the orientation of the measuring device (12). The apparatus and the method operate such that the user interfaces with the computer aided drafting program and uses the measuring device (12) as an input device to enter data into the computer aided drafting program. Thus, the user may create a complete model of the object solely by taking physical measurements of an object or space without any limitations on movement around or through it.
