Abstract

A modular wall assembly has one or more wall portions defined by one or more rows of stacked wall modules. Two wall portions can be spaced from each other to define an opening for a door. A header assembly can be attached over the two wall portions to distribute load onto both wall portions and define a top portion of the opening for the door. A door frame with an adjustable throat can extend over side edges of the two wall portions and the bottom edge of the header assembly to mount a door (e.g., double-door, panic doors) to the modular wall assembly. Buttress walls, having removable counterweights, can extend perpendicular to the wall portions to counteract forces on the wall portions. The wall assembly can be supported on a skid plate that facilitates alignment of the wall modules when assembling the wall portions of the wall assembly.

Abstract

Computer aided design systems and methods are disclosed. A computer aided design (CAD) system provide a user interface comprising a wall drawing tool, a window module placement tool, a door unit placement tool, and a working area. A user selection of the wall drawing tool is detected. A user start wall indication provided at a first coordinate and a user end wall indication provided at a second coordinate are detected, and a wall is drawn between the first and second coordinates. A wall height and dimensional information for pre-defined wall module types having different dimensions are accessed. Selection and position determinations of wall module types are performed. A rendering of an assembly for the wall is generated indicating the position of the selected module-types used to form the drawn wall.

Abstract

A wall module assembly usable to make interchangeable scenery, the module comprising a first support member having a first end, a second end, a first main surface, and a second main surface, a second support member having a first end, a second end, a first main surface, and a second main surface, a plurality of panel members interchangeably and removably supported by at least one of the first support member and the second support member, adjacent at least one of the first main surface and the second main surface of the first and/or second support member, and a plurality of connection members supported by the first end of the first support member and configured to be removably received within openings formed in the second end of the second support member positioned adjacent to the first support member.
