Development of Computer Aided Design (CAD) has made a transition from 2D to 3D architectural representation and today, designers directly work with 3D digital models for the initial design process. While these digital models are being developed, layering and labelling of 3D geometries in a model become very crucial for a detailed design phase. However, when the number of geometries increases, the process of labelling and layering becomes simple labor. Hence, this paper proposes automation for labelling and layering of segmented 3D digital models based on architectural elements. In various parametric design environments (Rhinoceros, Grasshopper, Grasshopper Python and Grasshopper Python Remote), a training set is generated and applied to supervised learning algorithms to label architectural elements. Automation of the labelling and layering 3D geometries not only advances the workflow performance of design process but also introduces wider range of classification with simple features. Additionally, this research discovers advantages and disadvantages of alternative classification algorithms for such an architectural problem

Expressive design visualization is critical for the architectural designers`designers`visual perception of 3D architectural models. Virtual environments, especially mixed reality (MR), have the potential to enhance designers' design perception and spatial understanding. In performance-based design, building simulations and quantitative analysis of performance predictions are integral to the design process. Specifically, daylighting simulation is considered as a crucial operation through the design developme...

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technologies are an essential part of modern design endeavors. In today's industry, engineers use CAD models throughout their work. This makes CAD education crucial. However current CAD education has typically focused on narrow skills related to particular CAD software. The skills necessary to adapt new CAD software and effectively utilize the existing models in modified designs are not the primary emphasis in CAD education. In this paper, the most recent findings of a three-year...
A comparative study on polygonal mesh simplification algorithms
Yirci, Murat; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
Polygonal meshes are a common way of representing 3D surface models in many different areas of computer graphics and geometry processing. However, these models are becoming more and more complex which increases the cost of processing these models. In order to reduce this cost, mesh simplification algorithms are developed. Another important property of a polygonal mesh model is that whether it is regular or not. Regular meshes have many advantages over the irregular ones in terms of memory requirements, effi...
A New Design Approach for Rapid Evaluation of Structural Modifications Using Neural Networks
Demirkan, O.; Olceroglu, E.; BAŞDOĞAN, FATMA İPEK; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2013-02-01)
Design optimization of structural systems is often iterative, time consuming and is limited by the knowledge of the designer. For that reason, a rapid design optimization scheme is desirable to avoid such problems. This paper presents and integrates two design methodologies for efficient conceptual design of structural systems involving computationally intensive analysis. The first design methodology used in this paper is structural modification technique (SMT). The SMT utilizes the frequency response funct...
