Abstract

PURPOSE:To sharply save and rationalize design working by coloring respective members such as poles, beams, walls, and floors to be the attributes of a structure on a drawing so as to identify them, converting respective color parts into numerical data and executing operation relating to the drawing. CONSTITUTION:In order to recognize the attributes of drawing information to be read out by a scanner or the like, respective members such as poles, beams and walls in the drawing are colored and read dot information is converted into numerical data by using the attributes. Thus, lines on the drawing are provided with attributes by coloring respective members, the drawing divided in respective colored members are read out by a color scanner or the like, the read data are converted into numerical data by a computer, the size of each member is decided and the data are utilized for structure calculation or a structure drawing. Consequently, design work can be saved and information processing can accelerated and rationalization is contrived.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) In order to use the wooden invention for structural calculations of buildings, etc., the drawn drawings are colored for each member, the drawings are read by an image scanner, and the drawings are converted into dot information. Human input into the computer as
This paper relates to a method for exchanging the dot information into numerical data in the same computer.

(Prior Art) (1) In order to manually enter numerical data with attributes from a drawing into a computer, a human reads the numerical data with attributes from the drawing and inputs it using a keyboard or the like.

(2) As a method of inputting drawings into a computer, there is also a method of mechanically reading them using an image scanner or the like.

Note that the attribute is a numerical value that has meanings such as the width of the shrine and the precepts.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) The prior art as described above has the following problems.

Method (1) requires a lot of effort and time for inputting information using a keyboard or the like.

In method (2), the data is simply input into a computer as a picture and is not converted into numerical data with attributes, so no further processing is possible.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a numerical exchange method for drawing information that eliminates the problems in the prior art and can save labor in design work and speed up and rationalize information processing. be.

(Means for solving the problem) In order to recognize the attributes of drawing information read by a scanner, etc.
Color the drawings by parts such as columns, beams, walls, etc. Convert the read dot information to numerical data using attributes.

(Function) Add attributes to the lines on the drawing by coloring each component. By reading color-coded drawings for each component using a color scanner, etc., and converting the read data into numerical data using a computer, the size of the component can be determined.
This data will be utilized for structural calculations and structural drawings.

(Example) The present invention consists of the following steps.

■ Add attributes (columns, columns,
Beams, walls, floors, etc.) are colored and identified.

(Figure 1 a) ■ The identified drawing is transferred to a computer (microcomputer) with dot information using an image reading device (image scanner) (Figure 2 b) ■ The computer (microcomputer) has an 8t capacity. A program that converts the separated dot 1 information into attributes converts the attributes into numerical data.

(FIG. 3C) ③ A computer (microcomputer) (c) performs calculations on the drawing elements based on the converted numerical data.

To explain in more detail based on the drawings, in Fig. 1, a is a colored drawing of the structure, and to show the attributes, for example, columns are purple, major beams are green, minor beams are red, walls are yellow, The floor is shown in brown, etc.

b shows the operation of reading the drawing with an image reading device (color copy, color scanner, etc.) and transferring it to a computer.

C indicates a program that converts the dot information read in step b above into numerical data using attributes in a computer.

The above program C is executed according to the procedure shown in FIG.

In this way, the dot 1 information read by color copy, color scanner, etc. is converted into numerical data having attributes.

(Effects of the Invention) The method of numerically exchanging drawing information according to the present invention is to color the drawings of a structure so that they can be identified as attributes such as columns, beams, walls, floors, etc., and use an image reading device to read the drawings. is transferred to a computer as dot information, and the same computer converts the identified dot information into attributes,
By converting the attributes into numerical data and further performing calculations regarding the drawing, the following effects are produced.

(1) By simply making a color copy of the drawn drawing and transferring it to a computer, the drawing information is exchanged into numerical data, eliminating the need for inputting data for design work, which was previously done, and improving design work. Significant labor savings can be achieved.

(2) The members involved in structural calculations include columns, girders, side beams, small beams, floors, walls, foundations, etc., and the attributes are 7.
All you have to do is express the type, which can be expressed sufficiently by color.

FIG. 1 is a process diagram in an embodiment of the present invention, and 210 is a block diagram of a program for converting dot 1 information into numerical data.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Columns, beams, walls, floors, and other members that become attributes are colored in the drawings of the structure so that they can be identified, and the drawings are transferred as dot information to a computer using an image reading device. A method for numerically converting drawing information, comprising converting attributes into numerical data using a program for converting dot information into attributes, and further performing calculations regarding the drawing.
