AUTOMATED LAYOUT GENERATION

摘要

Systems and methods for use in the generation of layouts for spaces. User defined parameters are entered and, based on the user inputs and the system configuration, a layout for the space is provided. First, the space is defined in terms of dimensions and shape. Second, the desired areas or rooms are generated including areas for specific rooms as may be defined by user input. These rooms are then placed within the space. Constraints provided by the user input and system configuration are complied with when placing the rooms in the space. Third, corridors are determined to ensure that connectivity between rooms exist. Finally, the corridors are placed and the sizes of the various rooms are adjusted to account for the space used by the corridors.

1. A method for generating at least one design layout for a space, the method comprising:
a) receiving parameters for said space; b) determining a number and type of desired areas for said space; c) determining dimensions of said desired areas; d) placing said desired areas in said space based on predetermined constraints; e) determining connecting corridors for said space to connect at least one desired area with another desired area; f) adjusting dimensions of said desired areas to account for said connecting corridors; and g) placing said connecting corridors in said space.
