Architects spend weeks validating room sizes, efficiency targets, egress, occupancy loads, and compliance checks, often across scattered spreadsheets and disconnected models.

Snaptrude AI changes that.

In Program Mode, you can run research-driven queries directly on your model:

• Check every room against your space standards
• Benchmark net-to-gross efficiency and understand why it's off
• Calculate occupancy loads using IBC
• Verify parking counts, stair capacity, door widths, ADA rules
• Review corridors for length, width, and performance
• See recommendations backed by both your internal standards and global norms

This turns your BIM into a continuously informed, data-driven design review, helping teams catch issues earlier and make better decisions throughout the process.

• Query real design data directly from an imported Revit model
• Check room areas against your own space standards and global norms
• Benchmark net-to-gross efficiency and see exactly why it's off target
• Calculate occupancy loads, parking, and door widths from IBC and ADA standards, with references

In this video, we'll use Snaptrude's research tools in program mode to query real design data directly from the model. Here I have a Revit model imported into Snaprude with all the necessary details. In program mode, I've already imported a set of standards across multiple data points: room areas, aspect ratios, corridor rules, service requirements, and net to gross efficiency targets. The first query I'm running is to check whether each room is within the right area range for its function. Snaprude pulls data from my space standards and enriches it with information from global standards, then generates a table showing how each space performs against best practices, with key observations and recommendations. Next, I'm asking it to calculate the net to gross efficiency and benchmark it the same way, showing the current percentage against my target range and explaining why it's off. From here, I can query anything else I need: occupancy load per room using IBC standards, parking requirements, staircase and exit requirements, plumbing fixture counts, and door widths based on ADA and room dimension checks, all computed directly from the model with references included. I can even review corridor performance by checking lengths and widths against fire norms and ADA. This workflow turns your model into a fully informed data-driven program review, helping you validate design decisions earlier, catch issues sooner, and align your project with both internal standards and global best practices.
