  • Patent number: 11709974
    Abstract: Document spaces are used for intermediate technical documents created for a model with a displayed 3D model view. A document space is a finite volume having a location in the global three-dimensional coordinate system of the model and a reference to a technical document. A displayed document space in the displayed model view illustrates where one or more model parts, or corresponding pieces of model parts, which are included in the technical document, locate.

  • Publication number: 20230229821
    Abstract: Mechanisms to increase level of detail in sets of model objects in a model for a construction product are disclosed, the mechanism utilizing a collection comprising a plurality of collection sets with details in metadata. For example, to increase level of detail in a set of model objects, content of a first metadata is determined. The first metadata comprises information indicating at least a type and geometry of the set of model objects. The collection sets are sorted to a suitability order based on compatibility of the first metadata to metadata of the collection sets. If the most suitable collection set is approved, the level of detail of the set of model objects is increased by adding to the first metadata copies of one or more details in the metadata of the most suitable collection set.

  • Patent number: 11250179
    Abstract: To enable to display one or more drawing content, which have been created during defining one or more engineering drawings from a model which comprises one or more parts to model one or more structures, digital twins of the one or more drawing content with associated information are created and published. The associated information of the digital twin comprises three-dimensional coordinates for the drawing content in question, determined based on one or more parts, to which the drawing content relates, and identifying information of said one or more parts.

  • Patent number: 11080470
    Abstract: A solution that automatically fine-tunes label locations in an engineering drawing is disclosed. The label locations are fine-tuned by performing a line-line solving process, a frame-frame solving process and a frame-line solving process according to a first order of the processes, and repeating performing the processes according to the first order as long as during performing the processes one or more frames have been moved to another location and a first repeat criterion is met. Each solving process repeats determining label pairs, and solving the problem in question for the labels in the pair as long as problematic label pairs can be determined and process-specific repeat criterion is met.

  • Patent number: 10817140
    Abstract: Mechanisms to create and/or use sequential data comprising a plurality of sequences are disclosed. A sequence comprises in a standard format at least a start user interface interaction and possible further user interface interactions between the start user interface interaction and an end event. The sequence may comprise the end event as well. An end event may be a user interface interaction performed when a user has used a creation oriented application or an indication of a maximum time between consecutive user interface interactions expiring.
