I heard about Finch a few years ago when I started to my master's, and I got excited! But now I am not sure if these kinds of softwares are necessary. At the office, we modify the unit layouts from previous projects by copying the Revit groups. Since we know they work well, we just adapt them to fit to the new design. Btw, I would prefer to fix a plan layout which I am familiar rather than doing it on every single project. Of course sometimes, there are specific parts that needs to be worked separately, but you still need to do it with Planfinder. I am not saying creating layouts is easy or cannot be automated, but there are ways to make the process more efficient with current workflows.
@@sefakoyun Those programs are still very immature and don't take into consideration many if not most of the parameters of real architecture design. They are based on the (wrong) assumption that a plan IS the space. Not it's not. A space may generate a single plan or ot may actually need a larger set of drawings (Think Gehry or Zaha). A plan can't do the opposite.
This should be something integrated into Rhino automatically with IFC object tagging and CAD blocks for furniture in metric and imperial. Paying so much monthly for this when it could basically be made one time and not a service is ridiculous.
Developer should make it open-source after recovering its development cost so community can develop it further. Finch 3d is also similar concept but is large scale.
These are still a bit rough and limited, Finch has more freedom in the layout. Still we are just at the beginning of this and AI can only get better with training and refining. Large software houses are certainly working on their AIs as well. In the next years I'm expecting this kind of solutions to spread exponentially. In time we will probably be able to generate complete BIM models including facades, structures and installations according to references, descriptions or sketches.. the decade will be intresting.
I don't know about this "AI will automate the whole design process" thing. I've covered AI on this channel for quite some time now and can see a potential future where using AI tools for design generation/refinement would be the most boring and soul-draining job ever, that doesn't leave any space for fresh ideas but rather regurgitates old ones.
@@DesignGoBrr I am an architect as well and I see what you mean, still I think the development of these tools is inevitable. And I think we will have to consider them as tools which is a somewhat important distinguo. I think our role will change. We will have to learn how to "direct" AI. To be able to have it take the way we want. What's intresting in our job is that the correct solutions are endless so there is always need for a choice to be made. Of course we will probably see the whole spectrum. There will be real estate developers that will be happy with very standard, correct projects; people that will search for the fully human-made product instead (much like you may want an handmade piece vs an industrial one) and all the stuff in the middle with human designers that will use the AI tools with various degrees of costumization. I guess the degree of customization of AIs will also be a step in their future development. Meaning someday you will probably be able to interact with them somewhat like you may interact with a draftsman. I don't think the affirmation of AI will necessarily coincide with a loss or of control on the process. You'll probably be able to delegate or direct more closely according to your needs. Considering the avarange quality of many real estate projects i can hardly see it as a negative change in general though it will have some cons somewhat like the development of industrial production had pros and cons..
Not sure about planfinder, but Finch3D does market it's software as capable of determining optimal fire-escape placement (as an example of building regulation following)
Update: From now on - PlanFinder includes Generate function in their Free Trial Version!
PewDiePie if he studied architecture in university
lmao
🤣🤣🤣
AWESOME TEACHER! VERY VALUABLE CONTENT

Nice one! I'll give it a shout out. Does it work with complex shapes and constraints like walls to adjacent apartments?

@@enricozettiwtf are you talking about
Can you please do a tutorial on how to render for Revit
1. Download Twinmotion + Datasmith for Revit . 2. Follow along my twinmotion course. 3. Don't even look at Revit's native rendering.
The Pro version is 10€. The only issue it can't design with curved boundaries like glass walls.
Sounds like they need a Pro-Max version then.
Are IBC code parameters built in or is that another plug in?
Not sure about planfinder, but Finch3D does market it's software as capable of determining optimal fire-escape placement (as an example of building regulation following)
Is there a way to link chatgpt to grasshopper and model through that?
yes, but no.
This is serious about this program?
