A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11914935B2) discloses a computing device equipped with program instructions that enable the generation of a two-dimensional view from a three-dimensional drawing file. The device can display a cross-sectional view based on the location of a reference indicator within the representation of the drawing file, showing the intersection of different meshes and dimensioning information related to these meshes. Users can adjust the location of the reference indicator through a user interface, prompting real-time updates to the cross-sectional view and dimensioning information to reflect the changes made.

Furthermore, the patent details the addition of an adjustment tool on the user interface, allowing users to control the location of the reference indicator. It also includes the capability to incorporate gridlines based on coordinate information into the cross-sectional view, enhancing the dimensioning information provided. The computing device can receive user inputs to modify measurements to different parts of the meshes, offering a versatile and interactive experience for users working with three-dimensional drawing files. Overall, the patent outlines a comprehensive system that facilitates the visualization and manipulation of complex three-dimensional data in a user-friendly manner, catering to various design and engineering applications.
