In this video, we test PlanFinder, an AI plugin for Revit designed to auto-generate floor plans for BIM workflows. We try to recreate building layouts from a model created from a point cloud: on the left you’ll see only the exterior walls, and on the right — the completed layout.
⚠️ Important limitation: PlanFinder currently doesn’t support non-orthogonal (non-right-angle) walls, so generating layouts for this specific model isn’t possible in a real scenario. Still, we test the plugin and discuss an ideal case where all walls are orthogonal, attempting to replicate seven different layout options.

How PlanFinder works (workflow overview)
To generate a floor plan, the plugin requires:
Exterior walls
A defined entry point
Inside the layout window, you can refine the result by adjusting:
Country/region
Number of bathrooms, bedrooms, and other room types
In the settings, you can configure:
Interior wall & door types
Optional furniture and plumbing generation (using included families)
Room boundary creation
After tuning the parameters, you choose the best option from the generated layouts — resulting in an automatically generated floor plan based on your inputs and constraints.
