SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND METHOD FOR DESIGNING CUSTOM BUILDING COMPONENTS

摘要

A system and method for designing, visualizing, pricing, and generating specifications for custom building components to be installed onto a structural surface such as an outer wall of a building. The system may be a web server accessible by a web browser and having a computer program stored thereon for accessing information related to building components from a database. The computer program may also receive from a user a selection of a type of building component to customize from the database, as well as surface parameters for the structural surface and user-selected parameters to be applied to a building component of the selected type. The computer program may display a visual depiction and a cost of the building component having the user-selected parameters. The computer program may also generate specifications for fabricating and installing the building component having the user-selected parameters.

主权项

1. A physical, non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer program stored thereon for operating a computer system for permitting a user to design custom building components to be mounted to a structural surface, the computer program comprising:
a code segment for accessing information related to building components from a database accessible by the computer system; a code segment for receiving from the user parameters to be applied to a building component from the database; a code segment for displaying a visual depiction of the building component as it would appear after the user-selected parameters have been applied; a code segment for determining and displaying a cost of the building component after the user-selected parameters have been applied; and a code segment for generating specifications for the building component, wherein the specifications include information to manufacture the building component with the user-selected parameters.
