The present disclosure provides a three-dimensional element layout visualization method and apparatus. The three-dimensional element layout visualization method includes: determining a bounding box of each three-dimensional element in a visualization interface; projecting the bounding box of each three-dimensional element in a target projection direction to obtain edge elements of the bounding box of each three-dimensional element in the visualization interface; and determining, according to positions of the edge elements in the visualization interface, at least one edge element set satisfying a first preset condition, and displaying a collinearity identification corresponding to the edge element set in the visualization interface.
