METHOD AND SYSTEM OF USING STANDARDIZED STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS

摘要

A method and system disclosed herein provides generating an architectural diagram describing an architectural layout of a building, wherein one or more walls of the building are designated as standardized structural walls, automatically positioning each of the standardized structural walls to a geometric grid, and mapping (or “placing”), using a computer, one or more of a plurality of standardized structural components, including standardized panels, standardized columns, and standardized trusses to coordinates of the geometric grid.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a design module configured to generate an architectural diagram describing an architectural layout of a building, wherein the design module is configured to allow designating one or more walls of the building as standardized structural walls; a geometric grid module configured to generate a geometric grid having grid lines and grid intersections and to position, one or more of the standardized structural walls to the geometric grid by aligning the each of the standardized structural walls along the grid lines and along the grid line intersections; a mapping solution module comprising one or more computerized instructions stored on a computer memory, the mapping solution module configured to map, using a processor, one or more of a plurality of standardized structural components to the grid lines and the grid line intersections; and a database configured to store structural details for the plurality of standardized structural components, wherein structural details for the plurality of standardized structural components includes records that provide the definition of standardized panels, standardized columns, and standardized trusses.
