Patent ID: 7936354

Claim:
A system for generating two-dimensional views of a three-dimensional model comprising: an active building model system for electronically generating one or more user-selected two-dimensional views of a three-dimensional building model using a general purpose processor; a floor plan view location system for electronically receiving user control data and placing a two-dimensional floor plan view in a user-selected location of a viewing window; an elevation view location system for electronically receiving user control data and placing a two-dimensional elevation view in a user-selected location of the viewing window; a floor plan model horizontal cutting system that can generate an interior building model floor plan centered on a user selection of a location in between two floors and in the middle of one of a plurality of interior walls of the three-dimensional building model; and an elevation model vertical cutting system that can generate an interior building model floor plan centered on a user selection of a location in the middle of one of a plurality of interior rooms of the three-dimensional building model.
