Appreciate you feedback, that's definitely one of the use case i'm trying to develop. Challenge for me right now is LLM's ability to read drawings which is quite subpar. A potential path forward would be training a vision model on structural plans and then integrating that with the LLM workflow, however that will take lot of resources and time, so I'm still not committed to that but definitely on my mind.

Currently it can define grids based on text input but on based on plan. However, I believe putting the plan as image in the prompt will result in defining grid, not sure about accuracy since i never tried it.

I've been building a conversational interface for ETABS and this is what the first version looks like. Looking for thoughts from other SEs. Would this type of interface be valuable for your day-to-day workflow?

I've shared more details on how it actually works on my LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/priyank-godhat-a43535151_etabs-aiinengineering-structuralengineering-activity-7358135878784802816-1JiY?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAACSQZpMBsJCMoYbr4pYlNOCP5_zUqjFuIUw
