1. A method comprising:
determining a plurality of segments depicted in a plurality of photos of a structure, wherein each photo of the plurality of photos depicts one or more walls of the structure;
projecting the plurality of segments onto a two-dimensional (2D) plane reflecting a top-down view of the structure; and
generating digital data representing a 2D outline of a shape of a roof outline, the digital data being generated via connecting the segments projected onto the two-dimensional (2D) plane to form the 2D outline.
