SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING A SET OF LINKED ROTATIONAL VIEWS OF MODEL OBJECTS
First Claim
1. A method of generating a selectively rotatable view of data, comprising:
- accessing a set of source data;
generating a first view of a portion of the source data to present via a user interface;
presenting a user-activatable interface resource to select at least one additional view of the at least a portion of the source data linked via a set of layer linkages to the first view; and
initiating a view transition to the at least one additional view.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for generating a set of linked rotational views of a model object. A modeling client can host modeling logic and an application programming interface (API) to create, access, manipulate, and import/export modeling objects used in modeling applications, such as engineering, medical, financial, and other modeling platforms. The source data accepted into the modeling client can include consumer or business-level applications, whose spreadsheet, database or other content can be extracted and encapsulated in object-oriented format, such as extensible markup language (XML) format. A set of layers of the model objects can be associated via a set of linkages. A rotator widget or other interface object can be presented to allow a user to traverse the linkages and rapidly rotate through layers in a view, without having to switch tabs, planes, database dimensions, or manually operate other dimensional control, enhancing viewing efficiency of large layers.

17. A computer readable storage medium, the computer readable storage medium storing a set of computer readable instructions to execute a method of generating a selectively rotatable view of data, the method comprising:
-
accessing a set of source data; generating a first view of a portion of the source data to present via a user interface; presenting a user-activatable interface resource to select at least one additional view of the at least a portion of the source data linked via a set of layer linkages to the first view; and initiating a view transition to the at least one additional view via the view management module. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
