Design and applications of a parameterized language for modeling architecture components

This paper presents a novel parameterized language for modeling architecture components and structures. Aiming at the capability and flexibility of describing various information of a large set of components, this language integrates the power of parameterized 3D modeling and easy-to-use 2D interfaces. This language is used in a 3D architecture design software - Easy Structure. We present the design objectives and the language syntax structure, and illustrate its practical applications used in staircase modeling.
