5 native CAD drawings — DWG, exported from Revit

Pipeline B Five output types, all current Model fingerprint 23536e17bf44bb91

What we started fromThe source drawing

Site, ground floor, second floor, foundation and ceiling plans. Carries layer names, block names and the Revit family-type id that joins sheet to sheet.

Richest structure of the three — and the only set where the drawing itself publishes wall heights, so the model can be checked against the drawing rather than inferred from it.

Structured drawing data

JSON · per sheet

What the pipeline read, before anything is built from it — walls, openings and site elements with measured coordinates, each carrying its own confidence and an honest record of whatever could not be resolved.

02

Editable CAD file

DXF

Opens in any CAD application with geometry on named layers — usable by the architect as readily as by us. Low-confidence items are placed on their own layer so they can be reviewed rather than trusted silently.

Dimensioned building model

IFC · open standard

The open industry standard, so it opens in the studio’s own 3D software with every element recognised as what it is. Rebuilding from an unchanged drawing produces a byte-for-byte identical file — which is why the fingerprint below identifies a build, not a run.

Built 3D view

rendered from the model

Not a picture of the drawing — a render of the finished model’s own geometry, which is the proof that the model builds. Anything that failed to build would be missing here and counted below.

Fidelity exhibit

single web page

Everything the pipeline read, drawn on top of the sheet and fading in and out against it. Built to show the misses as clearly as the hits — flagged items are marked rather than hidden.

Read this exhibit as a coverage map, not an overlay. It is drawn against a generated stand-in of the sheet rather than the original drawing, so it shows faithfully what the pipeline read — but it is not laid over the architect’s own linework. Only Bear’s Club is registered against a real drawing today.
