Abstract
A computer-implemented method of visualizing a decorating project includes rendering an image of a building space (e.g., a room) that includes a number of structural objects (such as doors, walls, and furniture). The structural objects may be portrayed in the rendered image with visual characteristics that are determined by decorative materials (such as paint, fabric, or wallpaper) associated with the objects. The decorative material associated with a particular structural object may be determined based on user input selecting an object's decorative material from a group of available decorative materials. The method may also include generating a listing of selected decorative materials (e.g., for use in a subsequent decorating session) and sending the listing to a purchasing system. A computer-implemented decorating system includes a server operatively coupled to a memory, a database, and to a network over which data can be exchanged with client computers. The memory includes software instructions to configure the server to retrieve modeling software from the database in response to requests from client computers and to send the modeling software over the network to the client computers. The modeling software includes instructions to configure the client computers to model structural objects, to associate decorative materials with the structural objects, and to render an image of a building space. The rendered image portrays structural objects in accordance with visual characteristic of associated decorative materials.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
