1. A computer implemented method to display a reference 3D model and more than one other 3D models in the form of a 3D scene, the 3D scene including the reference 3D model and a plurality of the more than one other 3D models, the method comprising:
selecting 3D models to be displayed from the more than one other 3D models according to one or more criteria;
comparing faces of each of the selected 3D models with corresponding faces of the reference 3D model according to the one or more criteria;
computing a similarity index resulting from the comparison;
computing a spatial position for each of the selected 3D models relative to the reference 3D model in the 3D scene based on the similarity index;
displaying the reference 3D model and the selected 3D models at their respective computed spatial position in the 3D scene on a display unit; and
marking each of the faces of the selected 3D models according to their respective similarity index.
