ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented building design and modeling system, method, and computer program product are provided. In one example, the computer program product includes computer executable instructions for processing by a computer system. The instructions include instructions for creating instances of parametric objects in a spatial database, where each of the parametric objects represents a construction component of a structure to be modeled and includes a user interface for enabling a user to input design data for the parametric object. The instructions also include instructions for initiating assembly of the parametric objects to create a partial building model. The parametric objects include ordinary elements and massing elements, the massing elements being capable of placing instances of other objects into the spatial database and subsequently passing data to and receiving data from the placed objects.
