Where it fits
Turn a written program into a first spatial discussion: departments, stacking and massing that the team can revise.
What goes in
A prompt or RFP and a site; the launch article identifies exact parcel selection in the US.
What comes out
Early program proposals, spatial blocks and massing/stacking studies in the design canvas.
How to read the capability
The article separates its early-stage release from planned envelope, packing and massing-to-BIM capabilities. Use that boundary in a pilot. Ask the system to expose its assumptions and compare the editable result with the signed brief before trusting downstream quantities.
Limits to keep in view
Site reconnaissance and a proposed compliant program remain vendor claims requiring local verification. Do not present the roadmap’s LOD 300/350 ambition as an accepted deliverable from the initial release.
A practical evaluation checklist
Use a short brief with one intentionally conflicting area requirement; check whether the conflict is surfaced.
Compare department areas and floor assignments against a manual schedule before refining geometry.
Test a small export into the receiving authoring tool; count the objects that require rebuilding.
