Algorithms-Aided Design in BIM Software
Sponsored by Vectorworks, Inc. | Presented by Sarah Barrett, Senior Architect Product Specialist
Webinar On-Demand
Algorithms-aided design tools are quickly becoming a standard of the AEC industry. They can bring endless opportunities for customization and automation within your design software and allow you more experimentation and optimization within your designs. Algorithms-aided design can be intimidating to a new user, but the most important thing you need to get started is a problem you want to solve. We will go over some basics of algorithmic modeling, give some examples of scripts that you can build in BIM software, and look at several real-world algorithmic modeling success stories.
