International Classification:
G06F 12/14
US Classification:
726 18, 703 1
Abstract:
A computer-implemented subsystem and method is disclosed for receiving user qualification data, comparing that data to certification criteria, and providing user certification according thereto, in the context of a system for designing a structure. A variety of users may be certified, including architects, designers, component and service providers, permitting authorities, builders, financers, future tenants, etc. A wide variety of certifications may be provided including by trade, by attributes of the structure, by intended use of the design system, etc. Certification may be based on general experience, references, time spent with the design system, training completed, examination passed, other certifications, etc. Certification may be stand-alone or may be part of an ongoing continuing education process. The design system may limit actions a user may perform on a design based on certification and certification level.

International Classification:
G06F 17/50
US Classification:
703 1
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system for designing a structure and coordinating its implementation is disclosed. The system includes a design workspace, a design engine which receives various inputs and produces a structure design for display in the design workspace, a requirements providing structure design requirement rules to the design engine for producing the structure design, and a cell source providing a definition of a cell that forms a portion of the structure design. The cell is configured to be assembled together with other cells to form the structure design. An attributes engine quantifies measures of various attributes of a structure based on the structure design during the process of designing the structure, and displays the quantified measures in a dashboard user interface. Optimization engines for analyzing the structure design, and proposing alternative designs is provided. The design may be optimized for various criteria, including the attributes quantified by the attributes engine.

International Classification:
G06F 17/50
US Classification:
703 1
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system for designing a structure based on an initial depiction is disclosed. The system includes a design engine that receives the depiction and various other inputs and produces a structure design therefrom. The depiction is analyzed to determine a representation, and cells instantiated to populate the representation. Cells are configured to be assembled together with other cells to form the structure design, including systems of the design. An initial proposed design may be iteratively improved using one or more measures of the proposed structure design's goodness, such as conformance to the depiction's shape, style, volume, etc. Creation of the depiction may be in the context of the building site, from which additional information may be derived in the process of creating a proposed structure design.

International Classification:
G06F 17/50, G09B 25/00
US Classification:
703 1, 434 72
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system for coordinating the design and implementation of a structure is disclosed. The system includes a design workspace, a design engine which receives various inputs and produces a structure design for display in the design workspace, first and second interfaces permitting first and second users, respectively, to view and manipulate a design, either independently or concurrently, and a library of design elements and editing tools accessible to the first and second users. One or more users may be provided with controls limiting the manipulations that other user(s) may make to the design. Change tracking and error and conflict checking are provided to assist with merging design manipulations originating from separate users.
