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.

1. A method comprising:
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, using a computer, each of the standardized structural walls to a three dimensional geometric grid by aligning the each of the standardized structural walls along grid lines of the three dimensional geometric grid and along grid line intersections of the three dimensional geometric grid; and automatically mapping, one or more of a plurality of standardized structural components to coordinates of the three dimensional geometric grid.
