🚀 AI-Powered GDL Generator – Would This Be Useful for You? 🤖📐

 

Hello everyone! 👋

 

We’re exploring the idea of an AI-powered tool that generates GDL code based on natural language descriptions. Imagine simply describing the object you need, and the AI instantly produces the GDL script—no manual coding required! 🏗

 

Potential Features:

Text-to-GDL Conversion – Describe an object, get a functional GDL script.

Live Code Suggestions – AI assists in optimizing and debugging GDL code.

GDL Library Enhancement – Generate parametric objects quickly for Archicad.

Smart Learning – The AI improves over time based on user input.

 

Before going further, we’d love your thoughts and feedback:

💡 Would this be useful for you?

💰 Would you consider paying for a tool like this?

🔧 What features would make it truly valuable?

 

We’re still in the early development stage, so your input would be incredibly helpful in shaping the future of this tool! Looking forward to your insights. 🚀

This would be a very welcome tool.

 

For someone who has not had the time to learn GDL properly I would love this kind of assistant.

Natural language coding, but also being able to troubleshoot existing code and/or suggest improvements to existing code.

 

Also, if it would be able to take an existing object code and amend that to add new parameters and options.

 

Would I use it - YES!

Would I pay for it - Probably not (but it all depends, doesn't it)

hi! while we are not fond of having super detailed objects in our models and plans (thats what specs are for) every now and then we do need some customization. 

 

so yeah, it would be useful.

like everything else, we would pay for it if the price is fair.

 

on a tool like this, we would like to have:

-ability for instant visual 3d feedback

-ability to import any 3d object, generate its gdl code and then the ability to manipulate it

 

best of lucks in this endeavour!

So, today I tried Gemini to do script for a simple chair. 

  • It listed all parameters that I needed
  • made simple 2d script with project2
  • full 3D script.

No errors!!!! 😀 Also comments for every part.

AI is learning,

Soon it will take over the world. 🤣

@Mr_Snarl,

 

Could you post the generated 2D script and 3D script? It would be interesting to see how it was created, how efficient the generated GDL script is.

LOL - Gemini did an EpicFail on me. Generated a lot of code, but nothing worked...
...either it was my description or it just didn't work.

Oh well...back to waiting...
