Techniques for dynamically displaying corresponding segments of related pie charts are implemented by a UI engine, pie chart engine, and graphics framework engine that operate in conjunction to display at least two related pie charts having a plurality of corresponding segments, receive a user selection of corresponding segments that are displayed in different positions in their respective pie charts, rotate at least one of the related pie charts, and display the related pie charts so that the corresponding segments are displayed in the same position/orientation in their respective pie charts. The computing device may also visually highlight the selected corresponding segments and execute an animation graphically displaying the rotation of the at least one related pie chart.

One embodiment of the invention sets forth a data navigation engine that generates user interface navigation elements for navigation large and expanding datasets. The user interface navigation elements may include a pivot control zoom slider for adjusting the data resolution with respect to different zoom pivot locations, an interactive ruler for consistent visual feedback and navigation of intervals of data within the dataset, a context bar for viewing the data proximate to a current view, and a multi-scale slider for repositioning the dataset within the current view. These user interface navigation elements provide the end-user with consistent control and visual feedback while navigating the dataset, independent of the size of the dataset or the portion of the dataset displayed within the current view. Therefore, large and expanding datasets can be navigated more effectively relative to prior art approaches.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating presentations of views of building entities according to an interaction graph. One of the methods includes processing building information model data to identify a plurality of building entities, wherein each building entity represents a respective feature of a building modeled by the data. Relationships between different respective pairs of the building entities are determined. The relationships are traversed according to simulated user interactions with respective presentations of a plurality of the building entities. At each subsequent building entity encountered by traversing the plurality of relationships, a respective presentation of a view of the building entity is generated, wherein the respective presentation includes one or more selectable references to one or more other views of one or more other building entities corresponding to one of the determined relationships between the building entities.
