The AI drew a whole two-story house in AutoCAD in 88.6 seconds

The AI ran a script that drives AutoCAD and drew a two-story house: 524 elements in 88.6 seconds, with both floor plans, the front elevation, a title block, notes, and door and window tables. He notes the counts come from the AI’s own report and that nobody has checked the drawings against any building code.

This only partly worked. Read what happened before you try it.

How it works

  1. The AI runs a script that drives AutoCAD
  2. It draws both floors, the front elevation, the title block, notes and door and window tables
  3. 524 elements in 88.6 seconds

Why it’s worth knowing

One script run produced the full drawing set, plans, elevation and tables, in under 90 seconds. Nobody has checked it against building rules yet.
