Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of architectural design, and in particular to Revit-based technologies for automatically splitting floor slabs, creating floor slabs, and creating openings in floor slabs. Background Technology

[0002] In general architecture, due to the needs of lifting slabs, staggered spaces, and load-bearing capacity, multiple floor slabs with different offset heights, materials, and thicknesses often exist on the same building elevation. Currently, the Revit-based method for creating floor slabs has the following problems: 1. During the architectural design phase, only floor slabs of the same type and at the same elevation can be manually created at a time. Multiple floor slabs with different heights or types cannot be created. If multiple floor slabs with different offset heights, materials, and thicknesses need to be created, it requires repeated manual clicking of the floor slab command to draw the floor slab boundaries and create the slabs; 2. The process of drawing floor slab boundaries can lead to errors in the slab edge lines, causing unnecessary collisions when other disciplines use this boundary in subsequent work, increasing the difficulty of later modifications; 3. When there are multiple shaft openings in the plan, the Revit-based shaft opening command requires manual drawing of the shaft opening boundaries, which can easily lead to misalignment of shaft openings between different floors, seriously affecting the designer's work efficiency and design quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical deficiencies, embodiments of this application provide a method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium based on automatically picking and editing component outlines.

[0004] The first aspect of this application provides a method for automatically picking and editing component outlines, comprising the steps of: in response to a request to automatically edit the outline, determining whether a room corresponding to a selected component exists, wherein the component is a whole floor slab of a single floor of a building; if it does not exist, prompting the user to create a room; and if it exists, picking the boundaries of each room, reading the floor slab information of each room from a specified table, and editing the floor slab outline of the specified room boundary range based on the picked room boundaries and floor slab information.

[0005] In one possible implementation, the selected component is a whole floor slab of any floor of the building.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the specified table is obtained through the following steps: prompting the user to select an existing local table or a newly generated table; if the selected table is a newly generated table, then the room information is written into the table, and the user is prompted to complete the table, and the completed table is used as the specified table; and if the selected table is an existing local table, then the user is prompted to complete the table, and the completed table is used as the specified table.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the floor information includes floor type, floor offset, opening type, and opening constraint conditions, wherein the opening constraint conditions are used to limit the floors that serve as shaft openings.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the opening type includes shaft openings and slab openings.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the step of editing the floor slab profile within a specified room boundary range based on the picked room boundary and floor slab information includes: for non-opening rooms, obtaining the room boundary, removing the floor slab within the boundary range, and constructing a new floor slab within the boundary range based on the room's floor slab offset; for rooms with openings, obtaining the room boundary and removing the floor slab within the boundary range; and for rooms with shaft openings, obtaining the room boundary and creating a shaft opening based on the boundary, the room's floor slab offset, and opening constraints.

[0018] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the exemplary embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not an exhaustive list of all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0019] To address the issues of not being able to batch create templates with different parameters, not being able to batch create openings, and problems easily occurring at the floor slab boundaries in Revit-based floor slab creation, this invention provides a method based on automatically picking and editing component outlines, which can automatically batch create floor slabs and openings without problems such as misalignment of shaft openings between different floors or boundary collisions during subsequent use.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a method 100 for constructing a contour based on automatic picking and editing according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: in response to a request for automatic contour editing, determining whether a room corresponding to a selected component exists, wherein the reference floor slab is a whole floor slab of each floor of a building; if it does not exist, prompting the user to create a room; and if it exists, picking the boundaries of each room and picking the floor slab information of each room from a specified table, constructing the floor slab of the room according to the picked boundaries and floor slab information to obtain the contour of the floor slab.

[0021] Method 100 provides the functionality for batch creation of floor slabs and openings as a plugin. A command button is created in the Revit interface, and when the user clicks this button, Method 100 is executed. Method 100 is implemented only if the user creates a single floor slab in the floor model of a building in Revit; this floor slab is called the reference floor slab. Rooms are then created within the building, and the outline of the reference floor slab is the outer edge of the building. Subsequent steps, such as splitting floor slabs, placing shaft openings, and creating openings in the floor slabs, are all performed based on the reference floor slab.

[0022] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method 100 based on automatically picking and editing component outlines according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Method 100 is executed in an electronic device (e.g., the aforementioned electronic device 300). Figure 1 As shown, method 100 begins with step S110.

[0023] In step S110, in response to the request to automatically edit the outline, it is determined whether the room corresponding to the selected component exists, wherein the component is a whole floor slab of a single floor of a building.

[0024] In this step, the selected component refers to an entire floor slab of a certain floor in the building, also known as the reference floor slab. The user selects the reference floor slab of any floor in the building, or multiple floors, and then clicks the command button mentioned above. Clicking the command button means that the user has issued a request to automatically construct the outline. At this time, the computer determines whether the room corresponding to the user-selected reference floor slab exists. If the determination result is that the room does not exist, then step S120 will be executed. If the determination result is that the room exists, then step S130 will be executed.

[0025] In step S120, the user is prompted to create a room.

[0026] If a user creates a baseline floor in a building but does not create any rooms in that building, the computer will display a prompt message when the user requests automatic outline construction, asking the user to "Please place the rooms".

[0027] In step S130, the boundaries of each room are selected, and the floor information of each room is read from a specified table. Based on the selected room boundaries and floor information, the floor outline of the specified room boundary range is edited. The specified table can be obtained through the following steps:

[0028] The user is prompted to select an existing local table or a newly generated table.

[0029] If the selected table is a newly generated table, the room information will be written into the table, and the user will be prompted to complete the table. The completed table will then be used as the designated table.

[0030] If the selected table is an existing local table, the user will be prompted to complete the table, and the completed table will be used as the specified table.

[0031] In this implementation, there are two types of tables: a table template (also known as a newly generated table) and a user-created table stored locally (also known as an existing local table). The table template is provided by Revit. If the user selects a table template, the computer will automatically read the names and boundaries of each room in the building and write the room names into the table template, as shown in Table 1.

[0032] Table 1 Template Table

[0033] living room front room Ventilation well bedroom corridor power distribution room engine room stairwell

[0034] The form template is then displayed to the user. The form template also includes information such as floor type, floor offset, whether there is an opening, and opening constraints. This information needs to be filled in by the user, and the completed form is shown in Table 2.

[0035] Table 2 Template after information is completed

[0036] living room T5-A-Floor Level_General 0 no / front room T5-A-Floor Level_General 0 no / Ventilation well T5-A-Floor Level_General 0 Shaft entrance F1-F3 bedroom T5-A-Floor Level_General 0 no / corridor T5-A-Floor Level_General 0 no / power distribution room T5-A Floor Level_Electrical Distribution Room 200 no / engine room T5-A-Floor Level_General 0 no / stairwell T5-A-Floor Level_General 0 boardhole /

[0037] Revit will read the information recorded in the table and, based on the read information and the room boundaries, define the floor profile for the specified room boundary range.

[0038] Users can also create their own table, using an existing local table, and fill in information such as room name, floor type, floor offset, whether there is an opening, and opening constraints. If the user selects an existing local table, Revit will read the information recorded in the table after the user completes the form, and then use the read information and room boundaries to define the floor profile for the specified room boundary range.

[0039] Revit offers three ways to split floor slabs: creating floor slabs, creating openings, and creating shaft openings. During the splitting process, you will obtain the floor slab outline within the specified room boundary range.

[0040] If the "Opening?" field in the table is "No", Revit will split the reference floor within the corresponding room range, making the floor of that room independent of the reference floor. Specifically, based on the boundary of the room, an opening is made in the reference floor within the range of that room, and then the floor is created within this range with the floor offset as the height.

[0041] If the "Opening" field in the table is "Slab Opening", Revit will use the boundary of the corresponding room as a reference to create an opening within the room's area on the base floor slab.

[0042] If the "Is it an opening?" field in the table is "Shaft opening", Revit will create a shaft opening within the corresponding room range on the floor defined by the opening constraint.

[0043] The detailed process of method 100 is explained below.

[0044] First, the user selects a building, creates a single floor slab as the base floor on each floor of the building, and creates rooms in the building, defining the room boundaries as "on the wall surface".

[0045] Next, the user selects a reference floor slab for any floor in the building (they can select a reference template for only one floor or multiple floors) to determine the boundary of the reference floor slab, and then clicks the command button mentioned above.

[0046] Next, the plugin will run. Revit needs to determine if rooms exist in the building. If the user hasn't created rooms in the building before clicking the command button, Revit won't recognize them and will prompt the user to "Place Rooms." After creating the rooms, the user can reselect the base template and click the command button again. If the user has already created rooms in the building before clicking the command button, Revit will read the names and boundaries of each room and prompt the user to select a table. If the user selects to create a new table, Revit will write the room names into the table and display it to the user, then prompt the user to complete the table information. The user can select the floor type and whether there is an opening for each room through the drop-down menu, and fill in the floor offset, whether there is an opening, and the opening constraint information. After completing the information, click "OK". If the user selects an existing local table, Revit will pop up a file location selection interface. The user can select a locally stored table, click "OK", and then enter the room name, floor offset, whether there is an opening, and the opening constraint information in the table. After completing the information, click "OK". After selecting the table and filling in the floor information, Revit reads the information for each room in the table and splits the floor slabs based on this information. For example, it removes the floor slabs corresponding to rooms named Living Room, Antechamber, Bedroom, Corridor, Electrical Room, and Machine Room, and creates new floor slabs in these rooms. The floor slab height for the Electrical Room is 200mm. It removes the floor slab corresponding to the room named Ventilation Shaft and creates shaft openings within the room's area from the first to the third floor. During the process of creating new floor slabs, openings, and shaft openings, the outlines of the floor slabs, openings, and shaft openings must be edited based on the respective room boundaries. After all room floor slabs are created, Revit prompts the user to check if the floor slabs are correct. If correct, the user can click "OK," and the command execution ends.

[0047] Embodiments of the present invention also provide an apparatus 200 based on automatically picking and editing component outlines, which is capable of performing the steps of the method 220 based on automatically picking and editing outlines as described above. Below, in conjunction with... Figure 2 To describe the above-mentioned device 200.

[0050] The room creation unit 220 is suitable for prompting the user to create a room if the room does not exist.

[0051] The floor creation unit 230 is adapted to, if it exists, pick the boundaries of each room and read the floor information of each room from the specified table, and edit the floor outline of the specified room boundary range based on the picked room boundaries and floor information.

[0056] If the selected table is an existing local table, the user will be prompted to complete the table, and the completed table will be used as the designated table.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the floor information includes floor type, floor offset, opening type, and opening constraint conditions, wherein the opening constraint conditions are used to limit the floors that serve as shaft openings.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the opening type includes vertical shaft openings and slab openings.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the floor slab creation unit is specifically used to perform the following steps:

[0060] For rooms without openings, obtain the boundary of the room, remove the floor slab within the boundary range, pick up the floor slab offset of the room from the specified table, and build a new floor slab within the boundary range according to the floor slab offset;

[0061] For rooms with openings in the floorboards, determine the boundaries of the room and remove the floorboards within the defined boundary area; and
