Finch3D
AI-assisted floor plan optimizer for multi-family buildings that scores layouts against daylight and area KPIs.
3.2 /5 composite score
C5 4/5 reflects Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper, ArchiCAD, and Autodesk Forma integrations, while C1 3/5 reflects a freemium entry point. The documented file surface is RVT and 3DM, and firm-size fit is solo to small-team.
