Generating cross-sectional views of three-dimensional drawing files
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 displays a cross-sectional view based on the reference indicator's location within the representation of the drawing file, showcasing the intersection of different meshes and dimensioning information related to these meshes. Users can adjust the reference indicator's position through a user interface, prompting real-time updates to the cross-sectional view and dimensioning information to reflect the changes accurately. Additionally, the device can generate an adjustment tool with controls for easier manipulation of the reference indicator's location, enhancing user experience and precision in editing the drawing file.
Furthermore, the patent details the addition of gridlines based on coordinate information to the cross-sectional view, aiding in spatial orientation and dimensioning accuracy. Users can input adjustments to measurements of specific mesh components, allowing for detailed modifications to the drawing file. The computing device can also generate a two-dimensional top-down view based on the reference indicator's location, providing users with multiple perspectives for better visualization and editing. Overall, the patented technology offers a comprehensive solution for creating, viewing, and editing three-dimensional drawing files efficiently, catering to the needs of professionals in various industries requiring precise and intuitive design tools.
