AI for Finding Dimensions
Using AI to find and extract dimensions from drawings.
Definition
AI for finding dimensions locates and extracts dimensional information from construction drawings. AI can find specific dimensions, aggregate quantities, and verify dimensional consistency. This speeds up dimension-related tasks.
In Depth
Finding a specific dimension on a construction drawing set requires knowing which sheet it is on and scanning the drawing to locate it. On a large project with hundreds of sheets, finding a single dimension — the corridor width at a specific location, the slab thickness at a particular bay, the window sill height in a specific room — can take minutes of manual searching.
AI dimension search answers dimensional questions directly. "What is the corridor width outside Room 204?" returns the answer with the sheet reference, without requiring the user to know which sheet to look at. "What is the floor-to-floor height at the third level?" returns the dimension from the building section, with the sheet and location identified.
