Filed:

Nov 24, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/449137

Inventors:

Ilya Baran - Newton MA
Christopher Ryan - Windham NH
Ricardo Chin - Shrewsbury MA

Assignee:

SolidWorks Corporation - Concord MA

International Classification:

G09G 500

US Classification:

345672, 345440, 345619, 345629, 345441

Abstract:

Processing data objects of a two-dimensional drawing includes marking data objects corresponding to annotation, separating the drawing into a plurality of views, and associating each of the data objects corresponding to annotation with one of the views. Separating the drawing into a plurality of views may include constructing a plurality of intersection and proximity graphs and using the graphs to provide a plurality of connected sets, where each set may correspond to one of the views. The border views may be identified by determining which of the views include less than a predetermined number of elements, contain at least two other views, and are not contained in other views.

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

715853, 715764, 709224, 709223

Abstract:

Among other disclosed subject matter, a method includes providing a user interface allowing the insertion of elements into a document flow comprising static and dynamic elements, the user interface presenting a graphical depiction of the document that is dynamically altered by the insertion of the element, wherein the dynamically altered appearance of the document correctly reflects the position and type of the inserted element and rearranges all existing static and flow elements of the document around the inserted element.

Inventors:

Christopher N. Ryan - Windham NH, US
Daniel E. Gobera Rubalcava - Cupertino CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715769, 715764

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for visual linking of elements to model attributes. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a data stream comprising a plurality of element instances wherein an element instance of a first type in the data stream has an attribute with respective data and another element instance of the first type in the data stream does not have the attribute; creating a data model from the data stream in which all element instances of the first type have the attribute; and presenting an interactive representation of the data model including the attribute in a first region of a user interface (UI) and one or more UI elements in a second region of the UI.

Appl. No.:

13/982026

Inventors:

Paul Warner - Waltham MA, US
Elizabeth Rothwell - Somerville MA, US
Christopher Ryan - Waltham MA, US

International Classification:

E04B 1/343

US Classification:

52 795, 5274502

Abstract:

Dual-side unfolding building modules are described that allow buildings with greater design flexibility, and particularly, large and open work or living spaces while allowing interesting roof designs such as butterfly type roofs. The building modules fold compactly for transport. The building modules can be prefabricated with interior and exterior finishing material thereby reducing the time required for finishing at the building site.
