The Algorithmic Design's integration with BIM (Building Information Modeling), allows greater potential for formal design innovation, tasks automation, greater geometry control, data assignment, and project documentation throughout its life cycle. This paper aims to assist in this integration, analyzing some plugins for conversion from Grasshopper to Archicad and Revit. Based on a parameterized social housing model, interoperability tests were carried out to compare different workflows and discuss some strategies and logics of algorithmic modeling to facilitate the communication between Grasshopper and BIM.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
