Abstract

A software program for use in designing interior and exterior spaces receives user input that is associated with one or more attributes. After receiving a different user input that changes at least one of an initial or subsequent attributes automatically displaying the initial and subsequent user input as originally received. Design choices that conflict with prior design choices are resolved to ensure that each of the prior and present user input choices are represented in an appropriate way. The resolution by the design software is also used to create an accurate parts (and/or price) list so that when the user has completed the design of an exterior or interior space, the design can be submitted directly as an order to be fulfilled. Generally, continual resolution ensures that the user's design intent is captured in an accurate and efficient way in a user interface.
