Abstract

A system for designing a structure comprising a design center system operating on a processor and configured to generate one or more user controls to generate an environment, the design center system further comprising. A model system operating on the processor and configured to receive the environment and to generate one or more user controls to place a plurality of modules at user-selected locations within the environment to form a structure. An assembly sequence system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate a plurality of images showing a construction sequence for the structure. A bill of materials system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate a bill of materials that lists materials required to build the structure. A countertop design system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate a countertop template for the structure. An order generation system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate an order for the materials required to build the structure. A remote interface system operating on a second processor and configured to allow a user to access the design center system and to interface with the user controls of the design center system.

Claims (47)

1 . A mating interface of a building element, comprising:

a lower vertical plane having height X and width 2X;

a lower contiguous horizontal plane having width 2X and length Y;

a contiguous vertical plane having height X and width 2X, superposed above the lower vertical plane; and

a contiguous horizontal plane having width 2X and length Y, superposed above the lower horizontal plane.

2 . The building element of claim 1 wherein Y=X.

3 . The building element of claim 1 , wherein Y=2X.

4 . A building element with a mating interface, comprising:

a first block with a vertical plane having height X and width 2X;

a contiguous horizontal plane of the first block having width 2X and length Y;

a second block with a vertical plane having height X and width 2X, the second block superposed above the vertical plane of the first block; and

a contiguous horizontal plane of the second block having width 2X and length Y, superposed above the horizontal plane of the first block.

5 . The building element of claim 4 wherein Y=X.

6 . The building element of claim 4 , wherein Y=2X.

7 . The building element of claim 4 further comprising a third block disposed between the first block and the second block.

8 . The building element of claim 4 further comprising a third block disposed between the first block and the second block, the third block comprising:

a vertical plane having height X and width 2X disposed offset from the vertical plane of the first block and the vertical plane of the second block; and

a contiguous horizontal plane having width 2X and length Y.

9 . The building element of claim 8 further comprising fourth block disposed above the second block, the fourth block comprising:

a vertical plane having height X and width 2X superposed above the vertical plane of the third block; and

a contiguous horizontal plane having width 2X and length Y.

10 . The building element of claim 4 further comprising a design center system operating on a processor and configured to generate one or more user controls to generate an environment.

11 . The building element of claim 10 further comprising a model system operating on the processor and configured to receive the environment and to generate one or more user controls to place a plurality of modules at user-selected locations within the environment to form a structure.

12 . The building element of claim 11 further comprising an assembly sequence system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate a plurality of images showing a construction sequence for the structure.

13 . The building element of claim 12 further comprising a bill of materials system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate a bill of materials that lists materials required to build the structure.

14 . The building element of claim 13 further comprising a countertop design system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate a countertop template for the structure.

15 . The building element of claim 14 further comprising an order generation system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate an order for the materials required to build the structure.

16 . The building element of claim 15 further comprising a remote interface system operating on a second processor and configured to allow a user to access the design center system and to interface with the user controls of the design center system.

17 . A system for designing a structure comprising:

a design center system operating on a processor and configured to generate one or more user controls to generate an environment, the design center system further comprising:

a model system operating on the processor and configured to receive the environment and to generate one or more user controls to place a plurality of modules at user-selected locations within the environment to form a structure;

an assembly sequence system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate a plurality of images showing a construction sequence for the structure;

a bill of materials system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate a bill of materials that lists materials required to build the structure;

a countertop design system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate a countertop template for the structure;

an order generation system operating on the processor and configured to receive the structure and to generate an order for the materials required to build the structure; and

a remote interface system operating on a second processor and configured to allow a user to access the design center system and to interface with the user controls of the design center system;

a first block with a vertical plane having height X and width 2X;

a contiguous horizontal plane of the first block having width 2X and length Y;

a second block with a vertical plane having height X and width 2X, the second block superposed above the vertical plane of the first block; and

a contiguous horizontal plane of the second block having width 2X and length Y, superposed above the horizontal plane of the first block;

a third block disposed between the first block and the second block, the third block comprising:

a vertical plane having height X and width 2X disposed offset from the vertical plane of the first block and the vertical plane of the second block; and

a contiguous horizontal plane having width 2X and length Y;

a fourth block disposed above the second block, the fourth block comprising:

a vertical plane having height X and width 2X superposed above the vertical plane of the third block; and

a contiguous horizontal plane having width 2X and length Y; and

wherein Y=X or Y=2X.
