In recent years, it is visible that technology has developed generally. The result of this development is new and improved instruments, as well as computer programming environments or programs. Data capture technology is evolving simultaneously with data processing technology. If we talk about 3D technology, one has to know that the technology started to develop in the past but it was not accessible to all users. 3D technology has been very useful in the film industry and the gaming world. The result of development, investment, and improvement is the use of 3D models in a wider area. Today, 3D models are used in the automotive industry, medicine, architecture, marketing, archeology, etc. The development of simpler and free software environments also contributed to the development of the use of 3D models. Today, there are programming environments for beginners who learn and for those who have already mastered 3D modeling. The 3D model is the result of modeling or the process of representing the mathematical space using various tools and data. The data based on which we create models in geodesy can be the result of terrestrial measurements, aerial photogrammetry, laser scanning, or the use of already existing cartographic data. The source of data that is the basis for creating 3D models can be different. However, a 3D model is always created using the same elements, such as point, line segment, and polygon mesh. The goal of the master's thesis is to create a 3D model of the archaeological remains of a former Roman temple. The basis for making the model of the temple is a cloud of points which is the result of laser scanning. Laser scanning is done with a Leica BLK360 scanner. The free version of the SketchUp software environment is used to create the 3D model.
