1. A design assistance device comprising:
a CPU, wherein
the CPU is configured to acquire three-dimensional data of an item group including a plurality of items,
the CPU is configured to define at least one individual observation direction that is a specific observation direction regarding each of the plurality of items and define an entire observation direction that is a specific observation direction regarding the item group, based on the three-dimensional data,
the CPU is configured to generate two-dimensional display data including a two-dimensional display representing an appearance of the item group in one of the individual observation direction and the entire observation direction,
the three-dimensional data includes a weighting factor related to each of the plurality of items,
each of the plurality of items is weighted by the weighting factor, and
the CPU is configured to define the individual observation direction regarding an item, which has the largest score obtained when weighted by the weighting factor among the plurality of items, as the entire observation direction.
