SDC Loop, Issue #1
Three tested AEC workflows: which AI model actually wins on real architecture tasks, how to turn a floor plan image into real BIM data, and how to model real terrain in Blender.
Headline finding: in our 8-model AI benchmark for AEC, ChatGPT won overall (71.4%): #1 in Tasks 4 and 5, and the only model to pass the floor plan task.
The three topics
TOPIC 1
AI Model Benchmark for AEC
8 models, 5 real architecture tasks, one Ultimate Ranking. ChatGPT wins.
TOPIC 2
Image to BIM Workflow
A floor plan image becomes real IFC4 BIM data, tested on straight and curved walls.
TOPIC 3
Real Terrain & Site Import
Real elevation and OpenStreetMap data into Blender by scrolling to your site on a map, out to Rhino or BIM.
