BIM Server Data Validation for COBie Integrity

The patent combines multiple data viewing capabilities (3D building models, COBie data, hierarchical structure data) into a single integrated BIM software interface. Users can view and interact with all these data types simultaneously without switching between different programs, thereby maintaining data viewing versatility while improving user productivity by eliminating the need to access additional programs.

The patent implements automatic validation checks that are performed in advance before data manipulation operations are executed. The system validates data integrity, checks for errors, and verifies data quality before allowing modifications to be applied to the BIM model, COBie data, or hierarchical structure. This preliminary validation ensures data reliability is maintained while preserving user flexibility in manipulating BIM data.

The patent implements continuous real-time validation that operates automatically as users manipulate BIM data throughout the entire data manipulation process. Rather than performing validation only at specific checkpoints or after completion, the system continuously monitors and validates data quality, allowing users to receive immediate feedback while maintaining efficient workflow. This continuous validation approach ensures high data quality without significant processing time delays.
