Conventionally, in the process for inspecting a molded product, a measurement point indicating a portion to be measured is defined by using attribution information, such as a tolerance difference, and a measurement program is created, or a manual measurement instrument is employed to conduct the measurement. According to the invention, provided is an information processing apparatus supporting general measurement operations, including those for manual measurements, by using attribution information, such as a dimension and a dimensional tolerance, that is added to a CAD model generated by a CAD apparatus.

Information processing apparatus and method

An information processing apparatus, method and computer readable medium provide for sorting attribution information of a 3D model into a plurality of groups; selecting a group from the plurality of groups; and selectively displaying a part of the attribution information corresponding to the selected group with the 3D model in a virtual 3D space.
