Abstract: Examples can include a system for flipping components in REVIT or other BIM software. A plugin can receive an indication that a flip has occurred in a plan displayed on a graphical user interface (“GUI”). The plan can include an assembly that has a handedness, such as a door or window. The plugin can determine what the handedness should be based on assembly parameters indicating mirroring, facing, and hand flipped. Because some assemblies cannot correctly mirror without adjusting handedness, the plugin can determine the appropriate handedness and replace the assembly with a different assembly when the handedness is incorrect after flipping. The new assembly can display in the GUI at the correct location.

Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein can allow a user to efficiently generate a merged two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) view of an existing three-dimensional construction model. A processor can create new 2D views for each floor in the 3D model, and then merge those new 2D views with new 3D views of the model. The merged views can allow a construction worker to easily alternate between two-dimensional and three-dimensional views of a construction jobsite, for example, to track information particular to a floor without having to alter the 3D model.
