Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for connecting one or more wall modules to structural components of a building. At least one implementation includes connections that can allow the wall module to couple to a structural wall. For instance, the wall module can extend away from an end of the structural wall. In particular, the wall module can have a frame that connects to the structural wall on at least one side face and one or more panels that connect to the frame to at least partially conceal the structural wall and the frame from a first vantage point. Accordingly, the structural wall together with one or more wall modules can divide the floor space of a building into one or more individual spaces.

Abstract: A computer system for managing multiple distinct perspectives within a mixed-reality design environment loads a three-dimensional architectural model into memory. The three-dimensional architectural model is associated with a virtual coordinate system. The three-dimensional architectural model comprises at least one virtual object that is associated with an independently executable software object that comprises independent variables and functions that are specific to a particular architectural element that is represented by the at least one virtual object. The computer system associates the virtual coordinate system with a physical coordinate system within a real-world environment. The computer system transmits to each device of multiple different devices rendering information. The rendering information comprises three-dimensional image data for rendering the three-dimensional architectural model and coordinate information that maps the virtual coordinate system to the physical coordinate system.

Abstract: Snap-in trim systems include a mounting element securable to or integrated with a structural component of a building. Structural components include modular wall components suitable for having decorative or structural trim attached thereto. The mounting element extends longitudinally along a length of the structural component. A longitudinal connection element is secured to the mounting element along the length thereof. The connection element attaches to the mounting element at an attachment interface either anterior-perpendicularly, lateral-parallelly, or anterior-lateral-diagonally. A trim element is connected to or integrated with the connection element. Connected trim elements include an alignment element for ensuring proper positioning of the trim element relative to the connection element. Trim elements include baseboard, crown molding, window casing, door casing and door stops.

Abstract: Embedded furniture systems include a wall having a recessed pocket, a furniture element hingedly connected to the wall and selectively moveable between a storage position in which the furniture element is vertically disposed in the pocket and a utility position in which the furniture element horizontally extends from the pocket, and a support structure hingedly connected to the furniture element and selectively positionable between an extended position in which the support structure protrudes substantially perpendicular to the furniture element and a retracted position in which the support structure extends substantially parallel to the furniture element. An illuminating mechanism illuminates a lighting element disposed in the support structure when the support structure is in the retracted position by bringing a contact element connected to the surface of the furniture element into communication with a circuit element connected to the surface of the support structure to complete an electrical circuit.

Abstract: Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for connecting panels, wall modules, modular walls, partitions, and combinations thereof. Particularly, one or more implementations described herein may facilitate making quick and easy connections between panels, wall modules, modular walls, partitions, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: A reconfigurable modular partition system having a plurality of different types of interchangeable (wall or ceiling) 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 (e.g., channel) 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 partition system, modules, and components thereof. Reconfiguration of modules is facilitated by removing the universal connection interface member from the channel, 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 partition system.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods for constructing and installing architectural walls that are secured to a floor and/or a ceiling and that that include an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism may allow the architectural wall to be selectively adjusted horizontally relative to the floor and/or ceiling so that a vertical positioning of the wall may be achieved. The adjustment mechanism may also allow the architectural wall to fit securely to a floor and/or ceiling.

Abstract: Implementations of the present invention provide systems, methods, and apparatus for securing trim to interior and/or exterior walls and wall portions. In particular, at least one implementation includes a system for connecting and securing trim elements without additional adjustments and/or fitting thereof. Moreover, the system for connecting and securing trim elements can improve accuracy and increase the speed of assembly, thereby reducing time and expense associated with installing trim to a building.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for constructing and installing architectural walls include adjustable shelves and a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism may allow the architectural wall to selectively secure a panel or shelf disposed through a hole in the wall. The clamping mechanism may also be loosened to allow the panel or shelf to be adjusted, removed, or replaced as needed.

The ability to shift can reduce or prevent damage to the wall modules during movement of support structures (ceilings, floors, permanent or structural walls) that secure the wall modules, which can shift or move relative to each other during seismic events or otherwise.

Abstract: Design software in accordance with an implementation of the present invention is configured to provide believable three-dimensional representations of user selections in real-time. Design elements that would otherwise be difficult to efficiently render three-dimensionally in real-time are prerendered for realistic visual effects, such as realistic shading, which correspond to various positions of the elements in a design space. Blanks of the visual effects for each position are then stored in a data store for visual effects. At run time, data associated with user design choices, as well as the blanks for any corresponding design elements are fed in one implementation to peripheral processing hardware, such as a GPU, which sends the processed data to a display device. The user is therefore able to view complex visual data of certain design choices efficiently with added realism.

Abstract: Implementations of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatus for forming individual spaces within a building. More specifically, implementations can involve partitions and/or walls that can define an individual space, which can produce a perception for occupants that the individual space is larger than actual dimensions thereof. As such, the occupants of the individual space can have a perception or experience of being in an individual space that is non-confining or less confining than a conventional individual space.
