  • Patent number: 11967017
    Abstract: A computing system, having stored thereon a design software, is configured to generate a design file representing a three-dimensional space that embodies a design. The computing system is further configured to render a three-dimensional view of the three-dimensional space in a graphical user interface. In response to receiving a user input of placing a three-dimensional object in the three-dimensional space, the computing system then renders the three-dimensional object in the three-dimensional view of the three-dimensional space in the graphical user interface as a silhouette.

  • Patent number: 11270514
    Abstract: A computer system for creating architectural schematics within a mixed-reality environment generates, within an architectural design application, mixed-reality rendering data that visually describes one or more virtual architectural elements in relation to a real-world environment. The computer system transmits, to a mixed-reality device, the mixed-reality rendering data, wherein the mixed-reality device renders the mixed-reality rendering data within the real-world environment. The computer system also receives a command from a user directed towards a particular virtual architectural element. Additionally, the computer system constrains a scope of the command based upon an interaction between the virtual architectural element and the real-world environment.

  • Patent number: 11085184
    Abstract: An interface for mounting interchangeable components and systems and methods implementing the same, including reconfigurable modular wall systems having a plurality of different types of interchangeable wall modules with different types of compatible connection components, each connection component being configured to align with another connection component at an interface to form an interface connection for securing the connection components together with one or more universal connection interface members. The interface is configured for on-demand reconfiguration without laborious alteration to aspects of the walls system, modules, and components thereof. Reconfiguration of modules is facilitated by removing the universal connection interface member from the interface connection, thereby releasing the attachment mechanism and allowing rearrangement of the module(s). Replacement of the universal connection interface member secures the reconfigured modules in place in the rearranged wall system.
