Abstract:
1. A computer-aided method for compiling a digital mockup for modeling installation of a multiplicity of objects in an installation space and for fitting out the installation space with a multiplicity of objects, the method comprising the steps of: a) assigning an object type to each object in said multiplicity of objects; b) allocating an installation location in said installation space for each object in said multiplicity of objects, c) carrying out a vicinity search around the installation location for each object in order to determine neighboring objects and to compile a first dataset containing the neighboring objects for each object in said installation space, wherein the determination of neighboring objects is carried out by means of a bounding-box method wherein the bounding box is formed as a cuboid enclosing the object, and wherein said cuboid enclosing the object is extended in one or more spatial directions relative to the enclosed object by from 0.1 to 1 m, d) using a second dataset which, for each object type, contains queries about possible interactions with other object types, e) for each object, compiling and outputting a query list that contains queries from the second dataset for those objects identified as neighboring objects in the first dataset, f) compiling a digital mockup of the fitted-out installation space, and g) fitting out the installation space by arranging objects at installation locations in said installation space according to said digital mockup.
