INFRASTRUCTURE MODEL COLLABORATION VIA STATE DISTRIBUTION

Abstract:

A method and system provide the ability to asynchronously collaborate on a model of an infrastructure project. The model is acquired and view settings for the model are captured. The view settings include a feature highlight that provides display attributes/settings for objects and/or features of the model, a camera position providing second settings relating to a camera view of the model, and a data view providing third settings regarding a view of the model data. The view settings are associated with a link. The link is transmitted/provided from a sender to a recipient. The link enables rehydration of a live model based on the captured view settings thereby presenting a state and view settings of the model specified by the sender.
