Auto BIM Route Interaction Smoothing

In the Auto BIM Route application project, the team focused on making route interactions smoother and more intuitive. They enhanced the user interface for drawing preferred paths, refined the zoom functionality for consistent proportions and improved route selection by adding visual emphasis and enabling keyboard shortcuts for easier navigation. Additionally, the team assisted in developing…

Auto BIM Route Project Browser

Auto BIM Route has developed an advanced PCB auto-routing and optimization tool to automatically generate routed circuits on virtual PCB designs, reducing the time and effort needed for routing. However, the current application takes too long to generate and display the routed designs due to the resources required for rendering. This ASU Capstone team aims…

Improving Auto BIM Route Zoom Functionality

The project focuses on optimizing Auto BIM Route, a construction data visualization tool, by improving its zoom functionality, interaction speed and overall rendering performance. The challenges include an outdated rendering engine that lacks GPU acceleration, limiting performance when processing large DSN files, and the need for deep analysis of the codebase to address bottlenecks affecting…
