    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a software tool that facilitates the presentation of a three-dimensional view of a construction project as well as the generation of various types of two-dimensional technical drawings based on this three-dimensional view. In one implementation, the software tool causes a computing device to engage in the following operations. The computing device may receive an indication of a desired clip height of a three-dimensional view at which to generate a two-dimensional technical drawing; identify a subset of meshes that intersect with a two-dimensional plane at the desired clip height; determine respective portions of each mesh that intersect the two-dimensional plane at the desired clip height; compile a dataset that defines the two-dimensional drawing; and render the two-dimensional drawing using the compiled dataset.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an improved AR technology for aligning virtual content with a real-world environment. In one aspect, the disclosed process may involve a first computing device receiving an indication that a second computing device detected a given QR pattern on a given strip of QR tape installed in a real-world environment. In response to receiving the indication, the first computing device may obtain installation information regarding a layout of the given strip of QR tape. Based at least on an identifier of the given QR pattern and the information regarding the layout of the given strip of QR tape, the first computing device may then determine a position and orientation of the second computing device, align virtual content on the real-world environment, and instruct the second computing device to present a view of the real-world environment that has the aligned virtual content superimposed onto the real-world environment.
