Abstract
Interactive systems and methods are provided for designing and constructing fences or other structures supported by posts, including methods which enable users to design custom fence panels and be presented with dynamic visual representations of such custom fence panels.
Claims11
A method, comprising:
- presenting a visual representation of a fence run including a plurality of fence panels;
- providing a user interface for receiving user input of fence run characteristics and/or modifying the fence run characteristics;
- and
- dynamically updating the visual representation of the fence run based at least in part on changes made to the fence run characteristics by the user, wherein dynamically updating the visual representation of the fence run includes overlaying a set of lines over the visual representation of the fence run, wherein a first one of the lines is indicative of a target fence height specified by the user.
1 more element
A computing device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer instructions;
- and
- at least one processor configured to execute the computer instructions to:
- generate a visual representation of a plurality of fence posts in a fence run, the plurality of fence posts including at least a first fence post and a second fence post;
- display the visual representation to a user;
- display a graphical user interface to the user for receiving information associated with at least the first fence post;
- receive, from the user via the graphical user interface, a first input specifying a measured height from a reference elevation to a target bottom of fence panels adjacent to the first fence post;
- and
- receive, from the user via the graphical user interface, a second input specifying a measured height from the reference elevation to a top of the first fence post.
