Method and system for identifying conflicts in a wall and foundation interface

A computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage device readable by one or more processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by one or more processor for performing a method for reviewing a three-dimensional (3D) model of a building before construction comprising:
• accessing the 3D model of the building;
• selecting a set of wall panels;
• isolating a plurality of the wall panels, wherein the wall panels interface with another wall panels in a horizontal type interface;
• selecting members of the wall panels involved in the horizontal type interface, wherein the horizontal type interface is identified as a connection between the wall panels at a corner or T-junction;
• determining properties of the selected members of the wall panels based on bearing area and the number of fasteners to secure members of two or more of the wall panels;
• wherein the properties include placement, orientation and dimension;
• calculating a set of actual values associated with the horizontal type interface from the properties of the selected members of the wall panels;
• comparing the set of actual values with a set of required values to determine a delta of the actual values and the required values of the selected members of the wall panels;
• identifying each members where the delta is outside a predetermined tolerance range;
• highlighting the identified members at a computer output interface to allow easy visual identified for user to locate conflict members and
• providing at least one solution based on one of the identified members.

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processors in communication with the memory;
• program instructions executable by the one or more processors via the memory to perform a method for reviewing a three-dimensional (3D) model of a building before construction, the method comprising:
• accessing the 3D model of the building;
• selecting a set of wall panels;
• isolating a plurality of the wall panels, wherein the wall panels interface with another wall panels in a horizontal type interface;
