Automated Code Generation for BIM

Writing Dynamo scripts, Revit macros, or Grasshopper definitions is a specialized skill that most AEC professionals do not have. AI code generation bridges this gap by translating natural language requests into working BIM automation scripts — "create a Dynamo script that renumbers all rooms on the selected level by grid location" produces executable code that a project team can use immediately.

The practical applications are in automating firm-specific BIM tasks that currently require manual effort or a dedicated BIM specialist. Generating schedules with custom sorting, batch-updating parameters across hundreds of elements, exporting data in specific formats for downstream tools — these are tasks that a Dynamo or Python script handles in seconds but that take hours to do manually. AI generates the script from a description of what the user needs.

Quality control for generated scripts is important because incorrect automation can introduce errors across an entire model. AI-generated scripts should be tested on a non-production model before running on live project files, and the output should be reviewed by someone who understands the intended result even if they cannot write the code themselves.
