Revolutionizing Architectural Floor Plans: An Inside Look at PLANFINDER

Revolutionizing Architectural Floor Plans: An Inside Look at PLANFINDER

ADDD is all about AEC software and construction technology (ConTech). We are on a mission to make construction productive, sustainable and profitable.

Introduction

PlanFinder is a Revit, Rhino or Grasshopper plugin that can draw floor plans for you in seconds. With PlanFinder, you can simply upload your plans, and the software will automatically generate a 3D model of your space. You can then adjust the model to fit your needs, and even furnish it with furniture from a library of thousands of objects. PlanFinder also comes with a built-in AI assistant that can help you with your design process. The AI assistant can answer your questions, offer suggestions, and even generate ideas for you. PlanFinder is the perfect tool for architects and interior designers who want to save time and improve their workflow.

How does it work?

PlanFinder uses machine learning and AI in a few different ways.To generate floor plans: PlanFinder uses a machine learning algorithm to generate floor plans based on a user’s input. The algorithm takes into account the user’s desired room count, dimensions, and other factors to generate a plan that meets their needs.

To furnish floor plans: PlanFinder also uses machine learning to furnish floor plans with furniture from a library of thousands of objects. The algorithm takes into account the size and layout of the room, as well as the user’s preferences, to furnish the plan in a way that looks natural and stylish.

To identify potential problems: PlanFinder also uses machine learning to identify potential problems with floor plans. For example, the algorithm can identify rooms that are too small or that have poor circulation. This helps users to catch and fix problems early on, before they become costly or difficult to fix.

Overall, PlanFinder uses machine learning and AI to make it easier for users to create and furnish floor plans. The software is able to generate realistic and stylish plans that meet the user’s needs, and it can also identify potential problems early on.

PlanFinder uses generative design to generate floor plans. Generative design is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses algorithms to create designs that meet specific criteria. In the case of PlanFinder, the criteria include the user’s desired room count, dimensions, and other factors.

Generative design is a powerful tool that can be used to create a wide variety of designs, including floor plans. However, it is important to note that generative design is not a perfect solution. The algorithms that are used to generate designs can sometimes produce results that are not feasible or that do not meet the user’s needs.

Top advantages

Here are some additional details about how PlanFinder uses machine learning and AI:

  • The machine learning algorithm that generates floor plans is trained on a dataset of thousands of real-world floor plans. This allows the algorithm to learn the patterns and relationships that are common in floor plans.
  • The machine learning algorithm that furnishes floor plans is trained on a dataset of images of furniture. This allows the algorithm to learn the appearance and dimensions of different types of furniture.
  • The machine learning algorithm that identifies potential problems is trained on a dataset of floor plans that have been flagged as having problems. This allows the algorithm to learn the patterns and characteristics of problematic floor plans.
  • By using machine learning and AI, PlanFinder is able to provide users with a powerful and easy-to-use tool for creating and furnishing floor plans. The software is able to generate realistic and stylish plans that meet the user’s needs, and it can also identify potential problems early on.
