Abstract

This paper introduces our method of the UML diagrams visualization in 3D space. It uses the layers for particular components and modules in class diagram, alternative and parallel scenarios in sequence and activity diagrams with modern combined frameworks. The herein presented approach contains also automatic generating of the object diagrams and final class diagram from the sequence diagrams of the use case scenarios. It applies force directed algorithm to create more convenient automated class diagram layout using semantics by adding weight factor in force calculation process.
