Three-dimensional data can be easily and automatically generated using existing non-three-dimensional data in the form of isometric drawings or the like, without resorting to three-dimensional arrangement adjustment CAD. In three-dimensional data generation unit 120, data edition unit 122, generates a spreadsheet data that includes information relating to a plurality of node points on a continuous arrangement route of target components by interactive process with a user, and stores the data in storage unit 130. Three-dimensional data conversion unit 123, on the basis of spreadsheet data, arranges the node points in a three-dimensional space, connects node points having a predetermined relationship using line segments, and imparts cross-sectional shapes to the connected line segments, to carry out thereby conversion into target component arrangement three-dimensional data. Three-dimensional data management unit 124 stores the obtained target component arrangement three-dimensional data in storage unit 130, in a format readable by three-dimensional CAD or three-dimensional review system, and outputs the data in response to an output instruction from interface unit 110.
