Ab­stract
We in­tro­duce 3D diff, a novel ap­proach to in­ter­act­ively re­solve con­flict­ing mesh edits. Our method per­forms con­flict de­tec­tion and visu­al­iz­a­tion and al­lows the user to quickly se­lect one of the two re­vi­sions for each con­flic­ted scene graph (SG) node. By fur­ther in­teg­rat­ing the know­ledge about a com­mon an­cestor of the two mod­els, a. k. a. 3-​​way diff, we are able to auto­mat­ic­ally re­solve more con­flicts than in a stand­ard 2-​​way com­par­ison. Our method is par­tic­u­larly use­ful for re­vi­sion man­age­ment of 3D models.
