STRUCTURAL GRAPHICS REPRESENTATION ABSTRACT The product of this invention is visual representation of construction projects--such as bridges, buildings, dams, industrial plants, or means of transport--so as to emphasize project urgencies. Novel depiction of structural features, both as scheduled and as constructed, enables urgencies of time, cost, etc., to be emphasized. Gradations of emphasis are expressed independently of language, by boldness of shading: shown in monochrome as continuity and thickness of line; in polychrome, by brightness and hue of color, usually following the order of the spectrum. During construction, urgencies associated with deviations from the schedule--or variances from the budget--are emphasizable by depicting overdue (or overly costly) structural increments shaded more boldly than on-time (or within budget) structure This visual product results from a process or procedure involving identifying and sequentializing work activities of given durations into appropriate order to produce a schedule of the work activities, including start and finish dates, together with their respective resulting structures. This procedure also involves storing and retrieving the foregoing, and related data, such as quantities and costs of work crews or materials, and depiction data for the resulting structure. Although, in principle, accomplishable manually, in practice the procedure preferably is machine-assisted, such as by a digital computer programmed to carry out the desired steps. Display of the visual product includes both transient depiction, as on a video screen, and non-transient depiction via a plotter or printer. Uses include not only instruction of personnel to improve actual on-the-job construction and cost control but also compilation of a succession of such structural depictions, so emphasized by line or color, into a permanent visual history of project urgencies.
