I work in BIM and somtimes spend a lot of time converting CAD drawings into models. Every time we pick up a file — whether it's an old project, a consultant's drawings, or a handover from another office — there's a baseline mess to deal with before anyone can actually work with it. Layers no one purged, lines that look connected but aren't, hatches that don't close. Same stuff regardless of source.

Curious how this is handled on the architecture side. Is there an actual office standard or QC step before files go out (or come in), or does everyone just deal with it case by case? Especially interested in how mid-to-large practices keep it from becoming someone's full-time job.

Hey again r/bim.
Thanks for the response to the open-source AI agent a week ago.

While talking to many of you in DMs, I realized a lot of you aren't familiar with GitHub or setting up API keys yet. So, I’ve put together a Detailed Step-by-Step Setup Guide on the website to make the entry barrier as low as possible.

Guides & GitHub Links:
https://www.bibim.app/en

Along with the guide, I just dropped a major update to make the agent more efficient and accessible:

  • 33% Token Reduction: Heavily optimized the prompt structure. It’s now much cheaper to run.
  • More LLMs Available: You can now run BIBIM with Gemini (3.1 pro) & GPT (5.5) API keys. This should make it easier for those who already have these keys.
  • Upgraded Local RAG: Improved accuracy when searching your local Revit API docs.
  • Revit 2027 Support: Now natively supports Revit 2024 through 2027.

I want to keep things clean around here, so this will be my final post about general updates.

You can grab the latest build and read the full setup guides from the link above. Let me know what you think. (DMs are always welcome if you get stuck during setup).

Cheers.
