  • Publication number: 20250217529
    Abstract: A computing platform configured to: (i) add a partition for a building information model (BIM) model including BIM data objects to a set of partitions, (ii) for each partition of one or more partitions that each satisfies a threshold, generate a respective partition file by, while the set includes a partition that does not satisfy the threshold: (a) retrieving a partition from the set, (b) if the partition does not satisfy the threshold, (1) determining a center of gravity for the partition, (2) splitting the partition into a first partition and a second partition on opposing sides of the determined center of gravity, and (3) adding the first and second partitions to the set, and (c) if the partition satisfies the threshold, generating a file for the partition, and (iii) generate an index file mapping each of the BIM data objects to a corresponding file.

  • Publication number: 20240330536
    Abstract: A method for intelligent clash resolution involves (1) receiving, from an end-user device associated with a user, an indication of a request to identify clashes between objects within a 3D model for a construction project, (2) based on the indication of the request, identifying a clash between a first object and a second object within the 3D model for the construction project, (3) based on (i) respective object metadata for the first object and the second object and (ii) historical data from one or more other construction projects, determining a solution for resolving the identified clash that comprises relocating the first object and not the second object, (4) and causing the end-user device to present an indication of the determined solution for resolving the identified clash.
