Imagine you can explore hundreds of design solutions for a residential building in a few minuteschoosing the most efficient layout based on square meters, exposure, accessibility and legislation. Without spending hours redesigning. Finch 3D does this.
This week, in our column dedicated to news AI for design, we talk about Finch 3Done of the most promising tools in the panorama of generative design applied to multi -family construction.

What is Finch 3D?
Finch 3D is a cloud platform that uses artificial intelligence and parametric generative systems for prefigure, quickly evaluate and optimize the layouts of rainstick buildings. The user matters a volume – designed in Revit, Rhino or Grasshopper – and Finch analyzes it, segmentally and automatically proposes a series of Planimetric solutions.
All layouts generated with 3D Finch are highly customizable and are evaluated in real time based on parameters such as the gross surface and the distribution efficiency of the spaces. The platform is designed to optimize the internal arrangement of the environments, offering immediate feedback on the main spatial characteristics of the project.
A smart assistant which is not limited to “making plants”, but returns Design solutions reasonedrespecting constraints and objectives.
How 3d Finch works
The workflow is simple and perfectly integrated into the most used software:
- Import The massing from Rhino, Grasshopper or Revit via plugin.
- Choose a functional mix and the number of plansor let it be proposed to propose it.
- View and compare In real time more solutions.
- Export The result in native BIM format to continue the design.
What really is it for?
Finch is designed for the feasibility phasewhere tight times and preliminary hypotheses require rapid and comparable evaluations. It is particularly effective for:
- Competitions and competitions where a first credible proposal is needed in a few hours;
- Real estate developers who want to optimize the Roi of the construction volume;
- Architecture studies that work on repetitive housing building But complex.
How much does it cost?
Finch 3D offers two floors:
- Free: basic access with manual tools, ideal for testing the platform.
- Basic (€ 49/month): designed for the individual professional, it includes all the main functions of the layout generation, real -time metrics and management of your bookshop. Available in free trial for 14 days.
- Enterprise (from € 1,000/month for 3 users): designed for studies and developers, includes multi -power collaboration functions, priority support and corporate customization.
Why is it worth trying it?
Finch does not replace the designer: accelerates intuition, suggests alternativesallows you to make mistakes faster – and better. An iterative approach, which returns check And time To those who design. Logic? “More options in less time”.
For those who already work in BIM environments, it represents a concrete turning point in design productivitywithout the need to learn a new software from scratch.
Useful resources
The advice of the week: Do you have a concept to be tested or a volume to optimize? Try to import it into 3D Finch. Even only the free version can change your approach to preliminary design.
