Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide a server that receives a drawing. The server matches assembly types to elements in the drawing and inserts a symbol overlay into the drawing. The symbol overlay includes metadata identifying the assembly types in the drawing. The assembly types are matched to assemblies, including kits, based on user-identified criteria, such as vendor and building codes. The system can then determine logistics for delivering the kits, automatically staggering shipment where dictated by build order of the kits.

Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide a plugin to REVIT or a similar program that allows for utilizing nested families for related parts and assemblies. Assembly families can include an inheritance tree where an instance of a host family implements child and sub-child families. The child and sub-child families can inherit parameters from the host family. To manage parameter values associated with the nested structure, the plugin can provide a custom dialog that acts as a middle layer between the user and the parameter settings of the computer-aided design program. The custom dialog can associate user selections with permissible values for parameters related to the host family.

Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide a plugin to REVIT or a similar program that allows the graphical user interface to convert system components to custom components and vice versa. This can include converting a system conduit pipe to multiple custom conduit pipes with a connector. It can also include converting a system first pipe, bend, and second pipe into a custom kick. The plugin can calculate an imaginary intersection point between first and second pipes in a plane. Using the calculated intersection point, the plugin can calculate actual pipe dimensions needed for fabricating the kick. The dimensions can be displayed within REVIT with a triangle generated to show the otherwise missing dimensions.
