    "patent_abstract": "A modeling system receives, via a user interface of a device, a selection of a three-dimensional shape that includes a plurality of faces. The modeling system generates a virtual object by: receiving an image showing a portion of a real-world object, determining an area of the image that corresponds to the portion of the real-world object, associating, in the virtual object, the area of the image with a face of the plurality of faces of the three-dimensional shape, and associating, in the virtual object or in metadata of the virtual object, properties of the three-dimensional shape with the virtual object. The virtual modeling system presents the virtual object in the user interface by at least showing the area of the image superimposed on the face and showing the properties.",
