description Advances in three-dimensional (3D) acquisition systems have introduced this technology to more fields of study, such as archaeology or architecture. In the architectural field, scanning a building is one of the first possible steps from which a 3D model can be obtained and can be later used for visualisation and/or feature analysis, thanks to computer-based pattern recognition tools. The automation of these tools allows for temporal savings and has become a strong aid for professionals, so that more and more methods are developed with this objective. In this article, a method for 3D mesh segmentation focused  on  the representation  of  historic  buildings  is  proposed.  This  type  of  buildings is characterised  by  having singularities  and features in  façades, such  as  doors  or  windows. The  main  objective  is  to  recognise  these  features, understanding them as those parts of the model that differ from the main structure of the building. The idea is to use a recognition algorithm for planar faces that allows users to create a graph showing the connectivity between them, therefore allowing the reflection of the shape of the 3Dmodel. At a later step, this graph is matched against some pre-defined graphs that  represent  the  patterns  to  look  for. Each  coincidence  between  both  graphs  indicate  the  position  of  one  of  the characteristics sought. The developed method has proved to be effective for feature detection and suitable for inclusion in architectural surveying applications.
