Original Abstract Submitted
described are techniques for infusing environmental data into a computer-aided design (cad) workspace. the techniques include replicating a physical area in a cad workspace, where a static object of the physical area is replicated in the cad workspace with a single set of coordinates, and where a dynamic object of the physical area is replicated in the cad workspace with a range of coordinates representing movement. the techniques further include using the cad workspace to enable relative sizing of a modeled object in the cad workspace, where the relative sizing is relative to the single set of coordinates associated with the static object and the range of coordinates associated with the dynamic object.
