Automating the process of creating 3d from 2d images

Hi,
Has anybody ever tried tracing 2d image and converting it to 3D? I have a set of 2D building prints and I want to convert into 3D model, I have a set of 50K images hence doing it manually would be impossible. I want to automate the process of feeding 2d image of building footprint and getting the 3d model out of it.
Does anybody have any idea how can this be achieved?

Hi - you didn’t categorize your post and I’m not sure what, exactly, the question is.
Rooster (Grasshopper) and Trace (Rhino) are plug-ins that you can use to trace images. Both are based on Potrace (http://potrace.sourceforge.net/).

Hi Wim,

Rooster works perfectly for my task, but it just takes one image at a time, is there a way to automate the process of converting a set of images to 3D?
Thanks in advance

Hello - most likely you’ll need a script of some kind for this.
