In one embodiment, a three-dimensional (3-D) model is aligned with a view of a physical environment captured by a camera. An augmented reality view is generated by superposing elements of the 3-D model and the view of the physical environment. At least some of the elements of the 3-D model are initially hidden within the augmented reality view. A virtual window is imposed that penetrates a surface within the augmented reality view. The virtual window clips the view of the physical environment and elements of the 3-D model that intersect the virtual window to reveal initially-hidden elements of the 3-D model located beyond the virtual window. The augmented reality view with the virtual window is displayed on a display device.
