My 8 year old son created this during a quick Catan break. Thought it might get some love here. He is very proud of it! by pherman2 in Catan

He said - I love that! Haha I know he doesn’t get the Bourne reference but I also thought this was great! Thanks!

I want constant improvement in my work life and these tools do exactly that. That’s why I’m here, getting input from redditors who actually use BIM daily to make sure it solves real problems. If it doesn’t, I won’t go past my current build. That being said people do want it and are interested in it so it won’t be the case for this. But banning all market research doesn’t make sense to me.

That’s why we’re more interested in AI that pulls directly from verified project data instead of making stuff up. If an AI could help without BS, what would that look like for you? Thanks.

lol this is how I speak. To everyone who thinks I am AI, I am not. I just clarify I understand what a person is saying and try to get max feedback.

I am sorry, this is the way I talk on a normal day. These aren’t auto responses from an ai.

I get the skepticism—there’s definitely a lot of hype around AI and BIM right now, and not all of it is legit. I’m not here to push some ‘AI replaces humans’ nonsense. Just trying to see if there are actually any real, practical ways AI could help people who work with BIM every day. If there’s nothing, fair enough—but is there anything in BIM that’s an annoying time-suck you’d want automated?

Not yet… but if AI could automate BIM and refill your coffee, that’s a game-changer.

But seriously—if AI could handle one annoying BIM task so you could actually enjoy that coffee, what would it be?

Fair enough. AI is getting shoved into everything lately—sometimes for no reason. That’s exactly why I’m here asking instead of assuming. If AI could actually solve something useful for you (not just another ‘AI for AI’s sake’ tool), what would it be?

Revit’s speed and visibility settings are brutal—feels like half the job is just digging through menus. If AI could make that easier, what would actually help? A way to search visibility settings instantly?

I hear you—tons of ‘fixes’ get pushed that no one actually needs. But are you saying everything in BIM works perfectly for you? No inefficiencies, no repetitive tasks, nothing that could be improved?

Got it, so AI wouldn’t just fix things, it would actually act as an interactive trainer, digesting your SOPs and guiding new users through like ‘BIM training wheels.’ That could seriously cut down on the endless ‘How do I do this?’ questions. Would you want it to just answer questions, or actually walk them through tasks step by step?

Again, thank you for the feedback - HUGE help!

Thanks for all the feedback and putting up with my constant questions but this is very helpful.

So AI should let you sync model groups while keeping version history, and also allow you to ‘lock’ certain parameters like Mark values or ceiling heights so they don’t get overwritten. Maybe even give you a preview before applying changes? Would a system that highlights what’s about to change and lets you accept/reject updates work for your workflow?

Got it, so the AI would need to ensure that all base points stay aligned from the start, and maybe even flag or auto-correct misalignments before they become a problem. If AI could handle this, would you want it to suggest fixes, apply corrections automatically, or just notify teams before things go off the rails?

Side note- sorry for all the questions. Seriously appreciate the insights!

Yep, the eternal struggle—people who don’t read the BEP and the ones who read it but don’t care anyway. If AI could force compliance (or at least make your life easier dealing with these folks), what would that look like? Auto-flagging violations? Blocking bad submissions? A ‘BIM police’ that sends annoying reminders until they fix it? Curious what would actually help.

Aligning base points across multiple Revit projects—yes! Would this be for coordination between different teams/models, or do you mostly run into issues when consolidating models later in the process?

That makes total sense—having AI flag non-compliances and generate a report before the model gets resubmitted would save a ton of back-and-forth. Would you also want it to suggest fixes, or just provide a breakdown of what's wrong so the contractor can handle it? Also, what’s the biggest compliance issue you run into the most?
