NXT BLD Talk

Presentation #1: From Design to Documentation: Automating Construction Drawings With AI

This presentation explores how agentic AI is poised to automate the creation of construction drawings. We will delve into the automation of view creation, sheet creation, dimensioning, tagging, and sheet packing using both LLMs as well as agentic AI. Furthermore, we will introduce a machine learning component that continuously learns and adapts from your firm’s existing drawing standards, ensuring that the automated output is tailored to your unique needs.

Presentation #2: Beyond Rendering: AI Workflows Unlocked with AI

Discover groundbreaking new workflows in Veras and Morphis, powered by the innovative Nano Banana technology. This presentation will showcase how to transform your design process, including 2D to 3D conversion, generatively laying out lights and ductwork, creating compelling axonometric views, and maintaining design persistency from multiple angles. We will also demonstrate how to effortlessly populate your spaces with furniture, revolutionizing the design process with the next generation of AI technology.

Autodrawings – Panel Discussion

One of the first areas to be hit by automation will be documentation.

Since the popularity of BIM has led to the mushrooming of documentation, a raft of tools are coming to try and drive automated drawings.

Our panel will discuss the current latest technology, how this can be deployed and how much money and time can be saved.
