Patent number: 11893316Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a software tool that facilitates coordination between various parties that are involved in the process of rectifying a problem identified in a combined three-dimensional model file. In one implementation, the software tool may cause a computing device to (a) receive an indication requesting creation of a coordination issue that relates to a portion of a rendered three-dimensional view of a construction project, (b) in response to the receipt of the indication, create a data set defining the coordination issue, the data set including (i) a representation of the portion of the rendered three-dimensional view, and (ii) data indicating an assignee of the coordination issue, and (c) cause an indication of the coordination issue to be presented to a client station associated with the assignee.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Procore Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dave McCool, Chris Bindloss

Publication number: 20230185984Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a software tool that facilitates the presentation of a three-dimensional view of a construction project as well as the generation of various types of two-dimensional technical drawings based on this three-dimensional view. In one implementation, the software tool causes a computing device to engage in the following operations. The computing device may receive a user input identifying at least one first mesh and at least one second mesh, determine portions of each identified mesh that intersect with a two-dimensional plane, and generate a two-dimensional drawing including a display of relevant dimensioning information based on the determined portions.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Christopher Myers, Chris Bindloss

Publication number: 20200151954Abstract: Disclosed herein is software technology that facilitates improved navigation of a three-dimensional view of a construction project. In one aspect, disclosed herein is a Building Information Model (BIM) viewer software tool that may facilitate navigation of the view by adjusting the perspective along either or both of the lateral axes. In another aspect, the disclosed software tool may facilitate navigation of the view by adjusting the perspective directly along the vertical axis. And in yet another aspect, the disclosed software tool may facilitate navigation of the view by adjusting the orientation of the perspective along the two lateral axes and the vertical axis. To facilitate this, the software tool may generate a GUI that presents the view and one or more navigational controls. The software tool may receive a user input via the navigational controls and change the position of the perspective from which the software tool renders the view.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2019Publication date: May 14, 2020Inventors: Dave McCool, Chris Bindloss
