Unit Finder empowers architects by reducing manual search efforts, enabling data-driven design decisions, and accelerating the iterative design process. This tool enhances spatial layout optimization by leveraging advanced filtering mechanisms, similarity detection, and real-time data visualization. It integrates seamlessly with Revit and Rhino to analyze unit floor plans and retrieve similar designs based on spatial features like boundaries, enclosures, and door locations. This enables architects and designers to explore optimal layouts efficiently.
