Abstract
Methods and systems for automatically incorporating third party components into an architectural design can include identifying an interface of a third party feature with at least one sub-component of the architectural design. The method can also include automatically incorporating a third party feature into the interface. Additionally, the method can include automatically resolving anomalies that the incorporation of the third party feature creates.
Claims20
In a computerized environment, a computerized method for incorporating third party features into an architectural design, the method comprising:
- generating an architectural design comprising one or more sub-components;
- identifying an interface of a third party feature with at least one sub-component of the architectural design;
- receiving an indication of the specifications of the third party feature;
- and
- automatically incorporating the specifications of the third party feature into the interface, wherein:
- the interface is adaptable to receive a plurality of different third party features, and
- automatically incorporating the specifications of the third party feature comprises automatically configuring a numerical control file to incorporate the specifications the third party feature.
In a computerized environment, a computerized method for incorporating third party features into an architectural design, the method comprising:
- generating within a computer aided drafting program an architectural design for an architectural element;
- identifying one or more interfaces for manufacturer specific components within the architectural element;
- receiving a configuration list, wherein the configuration list comprises manufacturer specific components and manufacturer specific specifications for a particular manufacturer;
- automatically identifying manufacturer specific components and manufacturer specific specifications from the configuration list that correspond with the one or more interfaces;
- and
- automatically incorporating the manufacturer specific components into the architectural design, such that the design represents a mixture of user design format and formatting from the incorporated manufacturer-specific components and specifications.
A computer-based system comprising one or more processors configured to execute computer-executable instructions for a method for incorporating third party features into an architectural design, the method comprising:
- generating an architectural design comprising one or more sub-components;
- identifying an interface of a third party feature with at least one sub-component of the architectural design;
- receiving an indication of the third party feature;
- automatically incorporating the third party feature into the interface;
- and
- automatically resolving anomalies that the incorporation of the third party feature creates.
