✒️ Introduction

This repository mainly includes 4 parts:

• Generative AIBIM: Structural design pipeline integrating BIM and generative AI
  This pipeline contains 4 stages. Stage I and Stage III are converting 3D BIM models to 2D architectural drawings and converting 2D structural drawings to 3D BIM models.
  We write Python and Dynamo scripts to implement the two stages.
  The simple tutorial and implementation code are publicly available at Structural design pipeline.
• Stage II introduces the the Physics-based Conditional Diffusion Model (PCDM). The code is openly accessible at PCDM.
• Modified-dataset.
• Evaluation code including Score_IoU and FID.
• DDIM sampling for PCDM
