Spaces in AI Assistant + MCP: what would you check your model against?

Mohamed Raslan — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 14:11:47 GMT

Spaces in AI Assistant (Beta) let you build a knowledge base from your own documents. Archicad MCP gives the AI structured access to your live model. Together, they let you ask: “Here’s the regulation. Does my model comply?”

How it works

Open the sidebar menu in AI Assistant and click Create a new space.
Upload your reference documents.
Start a chat inside the Space and ask about your model in that context. You can also enable Web search, paste the exact URL of a code section, and ask AI Assistant to check your model against it.

Ideas to get you started

Upload the Building Code and check your model for missing or wrong information.
Upload fire rating regulations and ask AI Assistant to check whether the doors in your project comply.
Upload a product installation guide and have the requirements converted into standardized Keynote entries, grouped into folders.
Paste the URL of the relevant part of the International Residential Code and ask AI Assistant to check your zones.

Good to know

Up to 10 Spaces per account, up to 10 files per Space.
PDF only, up to 40 MB per file.
Spaces are tied to your account, so they’re available from any project or device.
Model-changing actions need your explicit approval and are applied as a single undoable batch. Deleting isn’t available.
For critical or compliance-related information, verify results independently.
MCP tools require Archicad Collaborate or Archicad Max.

We’d love to hear from you

What documents would you upload to a Space (codes, fire ratings, product guides, office standards, client requirements)?
What would you want AI Assistant to check or fix in your model against them?
Where did it fall short? Did a document not parse well, or did a check need something the tools can’t do yet?

Reply with this template if you can:

Document type: [e.g. national building code, fire door schedule, manufacturer guide]
Source: [PDF upload or URL via Web search]
My prompt: [what you asked, with exact property names and units]
Scope: [selected elements, whole model, non-visible elements included?]
Result: [what worked, what was wrong, what was missing]
Follow-up wish: [what you’d want to do next, such as fix issues in a batch or log them as Keynotes]

Tips for better results

Upload only the relevant sections. Smaller, focused PDFs give clearer answers than a whole code book.
Use quotation marks and Archicad property names as stored in your file.
Always include units (mm, m, ft).
Ask AI Assistant to list the affected elements and their key properties so you can review the findings before approving any edits.
If you want hidden or other-story elements checked, say so explicitly.

We’ll read every reply and share the most common use cases, and what’s planned, in a follow-up.
