Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of architectural design and software development, and more particularly relates to a three-dimensional collaborative design implementation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology can digitize various elements in the construction period, not only having three-dimensional geometric information, but also including a large amount of non-geometric information. Traditional two-dimensional design has been unable to meet the increasingly complex needs of the current building industry. Three-dimensional forward design combines building information modeling and auxiliary drawing, and has great value in improving engineering quality.

[0003] The current submission process is mainly for two-dimensional design. Although many manufacturers have developed software for two-dimensional design collaborative process, there is still no perfect three-dimensional collaborative design implementation control method. Especially the lack of control in the submission process can easily cause version management confusion, low submission quality, and submission time lag, which leads to a decrease in design quality.

[0004] Although there are various BIM secondary development tools on the market, most of them are designed to help designers improve design efficiency, and the entire design process still relies on manual coordination. From a management perspective, the workload involved in process control is very large, and it is difficult to monitor specific execution details.

[0005] At the same time, due to the lack of data and tool support, managers cannot accurately control the three-dimensional collaborative design submission process, and cannot trace back and analyze various problems that occur in the submission process. The extensive management mode of three-dimensional collaborative design often leads to similar problems repeating in different projects, which seriously increases the management cost. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the above defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the present application provides a three-dimensional collaborative design implementation method, which realizes model collaboration between and within professions through a linked collaborative mode, and automatically realizes synchronization and management of intermediate files in the server, thereby improving the communication and cooperation efficiency of design while ensuring standardization.

[0016] The receiving professional is the professional that receives each item of the application form, and after completing the application, the receiving professional will receive the task prompt of the Windows application end;

[0017] The application stage is the milestone node to which each item of the application form belongs, and the items are classified and associated with the time of the application task;

[0018] The control type is the task type associated with each item of the application form, which is divided into general item, review item and main control item. The general item can directly complete the application; the review item needs to be confirmed by the review process before the application; and the main control item is strongly associated with the design application task time.

[0019] In some optional embodiments, in step S2, the Windows application end displays the task details of the project funding task, including the design content and the funding milestone time node, and the Windows application end will perform a strong reminder for the project funding task that is overdue.

[0020] In some optional embodiments, in step S5, if the current funding contains a review item, the review task is automatically initiated, the related task is pushed to the reviewer through the Windows application end, the reviewer directly reviews the content of the current funding in the Revit end, the related problems are submitted to the designer through the Revit plug-in, and after the designer modifies and the reviewer confirms, the review task is closed, the design file is completed for funding and is pushed out.

[0021] In some optional embodiments, in step S6, the professional designer can view the contents of the funding form in the Windows application end or the Revit end, and view the funding design file or update the related link reference file in the Revit end.

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application. In addition, the technical features involved in each embodiment of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0039] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a three-dimensional collaborative design implementation method, comprising the following steps:

[0040] S1: The management personnel determines the capital raising stage of the project and the main capital raising items of the corresponding stage according to the nature and scale of the project. The platform has summarized multiple templates according to the experience of previous projects, and the management personnel can complete the configuration by applying the templates and making minor adjustments. The platform performs project planning, selects standardized design templates of each profession to generate standardized design files, allocates design tasks, and specifies the capital raising time nodes of the corresponding professional designers, and synchronizes the related tasks and files to the cloud server.

[0041] As Figure 2 shown, the three-dimensional collaborative design platform includes a Web end, a Windows application end and a Revit end.

[0042] As Figure 3 shown, when the project manager configures the professional capital raising form, the form entry features include the capital raising profession, the accepting profession, the capital raising stage, the control type, the depth requirement and the expression method. Among them: the capital raising profession is the belonging profession of the form, and the capital raising form is based on the characteristics of each design profession, and the content of the capital raising items required in each stage is different; the accepting profession is the receiving profession of each item of the form, and after completing the capital raising, the accepting profession will receive the task prompt of the Windows application end; the capital raising stage is the milestone node to which each item belongs, and the time of the capital raising task is associated; the control type is the task type associated with each item of the form, which is divided into general items, review items and main control items. The general items can be directly completed; the review items need to be confirmed through the review process before the capital raising; and the main control items are strongly associated with the design capital raising task time.

[0043] S2: As Figure 4 shown, the Windows application end is similar to instant messaging tools such as enterprise WeChat, QQ, etc., which synchronizes the related task data of the cloud server in real time and pushes various task messages to each designer.

[0044] Among them, when the designer views the capital raising task of the project through the Windows application end, the designer can view the task details, including the design content, the capital raising milestone time node, etc. For the capital raising tasks that are not completed in time or are overdue, the Windows application end will strongly remind.

[0045] S3: Designers can click on the relevant task in the Windows application to jump to the Revit end for collaborative design work. When the Revit software is opened, the system automatically downloads the corresponding task design files and linked reference files from the cloud server. Designers do not need to create model files themselves, so as to ensure the standardization of design files and the normal operation of the task system.

[0046] S4: As Figure 5 As shown, after completing the design work according to the phased requirements for submitting information, the designers check the relevant content on the information submission form for self-checking. The purpose of self-checking is to allow designers to check against the information submission form to avoid omissions, strengthen their responsibility in the information submission process, and automatically generate a standardized information submission form for other professionals to refer to and archive. The control types of each item on the information submission form of each profession are divided into general items, review items, and main control items.

[0047] For example, the first submission form for architecture professionals requires the following: site plan, floor plan / model, elevation / model, section / model, fire compartment diagram, and simple design description; the first submission for structural engineering professionals requires the following: main structural form and layout (accurate column dimensions and location, and relatively accurate frame beam dimensions), beam and column sections, and annotated views.

[0048] S5: When the current submission includes a review item, the submission will enter the review task. Only after the review task is passed can the submission be completed. The submission task status and the corresponding model will be synchronized to the cloud server.

[0049] The system automatically initiates proofreading and review tasks, and the relevant tasks are pushed to proofreaders and reviewers via the Windows application. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the reviewers directly reviewed the submitted information in Revit software, and submitted any issues to the designers through the Revit plugin. Once the designers completed their revisions and the reviewers confirmed them, the review process was closed, and the design document was submitted and pushed out.

[0050] The platform stores files in two parts: local and server. When submitting data, the locally modified design files are synchronized to the cloud server. At the same time, the server backs up historical files to facilitate later problem tracking and retrospection. Other project-related personnel can retrieve the latest data submission files from the server at any time.

[0051] S6: Receive task prompts from the Windows application and click on the relevant task to jump to the Revit client to view the latest information.

[0052] like Figure 7As shown, the professional designer can view the application table in the Windows application or the corresponding module in Revit, and view the latest application design file or update the relevant link reference file in Revit.

[0053] When the design work has been carried out for a certain period of time, multiple versions of the application file can be formed due to design changes. The platform manages each version of the application file online, and the Revit plug-in can compare the added, deleted and modified content in each version. The version comparison function is developed based on Revit API. Through the version comparison function, the designer can more clearly view the changed content, which greatly helps to improve the design efficiency.

[0054] The three-dimensional collaborative design platform automatically forms a model hierarchy tree according to project planning, performs lightweight processing on the geometric data and non-geometric data in the BIM design model after the application is successful, and separates the model, and automatically connects to the corresponding node to form a design process model.

[0055] It should be noted that, according to the needs of implementation, each step / component described in the present application can be split into more steps / components, or two or more steps / components or part of the operation of the steps / components can be combined into a new step / component, to achieve the purpose of the present application.

[0056] Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
