Accelerating Design Prototyping with Natural Language CAD
Quickly transforming ideas into visual prototypes is a key challenge in architectural design, and CAD-MCP offers the following optimized solutions:
- On-the-fly graphics generationInput commands such as "Draw 8 x 12 meter rectangular building footprint" to generate a foundation frame in 3 seconds.
- parameterization: Rapid iterative design with instructions such as "change the thickness of the south wall to 30cm".
- Element Batch ProcessingFor example, "Open 5 windows 1.2 meters wide on the east and west elevations" can be repeated with a single click.
Implementation Steps:
- Configuring AutoCAD's connection to CAD-MCP
- Establishment of a standardized layer system (e.g., Wall/Window, etc.)
- Prepare templates for common instructions (e.g., room generation, door and window layout, etc.)
- Simultaneous generation of electronic drawings when sketching by hand with voice input.
Advanced Tips: For complex components, you can generate basic graphics with voice description first, and then fine-tune the details. At the beginning of the project, you can set startup_wait_time in config.json to 30 seconds to avoid software loading delay.
