1. A system for panoptic visualization of a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a complex system, the system comprising: a visualization engine configured to receive a digital 3D model of a complex system and produce a plurality of electronic document components including two-dimensional (2D) images depicting elements of the complex system; and a data extractor coupled to the visualization engine and configured to generate 2D derivatives of the 3D model, including for each of one or more document components, the data extractor being configured to: receive the document component including a 2D image depicting an element of the complex system, and extract from the 3D model, information identifying a spatial, design or functional relationship between the respective element and one or more other elements of the complex system; and provide the extracted information in metadata associated with the document component, wherein the data extractor is configured to communicate the 2D derivatives for inclusion in a panoptic visualization document collection, the 2D derivatives including the document components and associated metadata.
