  • Systems and methods for component-based architecture design
    Patent number: 9213785
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for performing component-based architecture design. In one example, a method includes accessing a database storing multiple pre-designed room components to automatically identify certain pre-designed room components that satisfy input criteria. Each of the pre-designed room components includes structural geometric data indicative of a three-dimensional (3D) model of a pre-designed room, embedded metadata indicative of at least one design policy associated with the pre-designed room, and construction drawing data that can be merged with that of other room components to create final construction drawings for a completed house design.
