Autodesk has embedded AI across its AEC platform in three primary areas. First, Revit's Generative Design tool uses an AI optimizer to explore thousands of design options that satisfy specified goals and constraints — maximize daylight, minimize structural material, optimize unit count — producing a Pareto frontier of optimal solutions. Second, Autodesk Forma (formerly Spacemaker) provides AI-driven environmental analysis — wind, daylight, noise — at the earliest massing stage. Third, automation tools (Dynamo scripts + AI) handle repetitive documentation tasks: sheet set generation, room tagging, clash detection reporting. For large AEC firms already invested in the Autodesk ecosystem, these AI features provide significant time savings without requiring tool changes.
AI-powered CAD with automated drawing completion and BIM
AI autocompletes 2D drawings, recognizes architectural shapes, and generates BIM models from 2D plans. Cost-effective AutoCAD alternative with smart AI features.
Open-source data platform for connecting AEC tools with AI
Open data infrastructure connecting Revit, SketchUp, Rhino, and other AEC tools. Run AI scripts across model data — clash detection, compliance checks, and custom automation.
Collaborative VR design tool with AI mesh generation
Design together in VR/AR using natural gestures. AI generates meshes from sketches and converts models directly into Revit or SketchUp. Ideal for co-design sessions with clients.
