We’re excited to announce our new scoring feature—exclusively for Finch Enterprise users. This innovative tool offers enhanced transparency, showing exactly how Finch suggests optimal plans for your projects. Gain insights into daylight performance metrics, compliance with key regulations, and overall project optimization.
You can now use the dimensions tool to control the dimensions between the door and the wall for increased control in your dataset.
If your project already has predefined walls, you can upload them directly to Finch from both Rhino and Revit and still make use of Adaptive Plan Library and AI Generate Unit Plan.
The new Generate Floor Plate offers:
Increased support for complex shapes
Increased precision: We've heard you and we’ve worked hard to ensure that the algorithm hits the exact sizes requested. If you ask for a 40 m² apartment, that’s what you’ll get, and any remaining square meters will be allocated to one unique unit per stairwell.
Increased transparency: If the unit mix you’ve chosen doesn’t fit the building’s story, the algorithm will now inform you why, and how to solve it.
Introducing the new graph studio in Finch Enterprise: Set graph rules for different spaces, generate compliant plans, and refine them with ease. Save and reuse your customized plans, ensuring every project meets your specifications. Watch the tutorial here.
With the new extendable constraint, gain more control over how the algorithm interprets your plans. Click on walls twice to add an extendable constraint, where the wall can stretch but not shrink. This can be ideal for doorways, or rooms with a minimum width.
The Adaptive Plan takes your design and makes it fit into 1000 new scenarios without losing your design intent, and making sure it adheres to your local regulations. In Finch Pro, you can now build your library of Adaptive Plans and reuse them in project after project. Never again start from a blank slate. One plan offers endless possibilities. Learn more here.
You can now check Import Furniture to import and create furniture families when downloading your projects into Revit. To access this feature, be sure you update your plug-in to version 0.1.29.
You can now add stairwell attractors for the blank slate algorithm directly inside of Finch!
With the new Grid Lines weight, influence the algorithm to snap to your custom grid lines when generating around a custom core. Find instructions on how to upload grid lines via Revit or Rhino.
It is now easier than ever to change dimensions: simply click on a dimension and the wall you want to move, and type in the new value.
Upload grid lines with the grid lines layer (Rhino) or by adding Revit grids, and toggle them on and off inside of Finch for quick snapping.
Finch now supports multiple towers, tunnels and voids! No more splitting up buildings in Rhino or Revit, simply upload your mass with a single click and work with it as normal inside of Finch.
Change your project to imperial in the new Measurement System drop down on the project home page:
Assign specific plans from your own library to a unit by right clicking and hitting Assign Plan, and then search for your desired plan's name.
Array walls over a set distance using either auto or custom spacing, allowing you to get identical units quickly.
Clearly understand whether you are in the unit level or the story level, with improved context clues, as well as a menu that informs of linked plans throughout the building.
Smart wall editing allows dynamic changes of your wall- push and pull segments, and Finch will auto-extend and auto-trim for you as needed.
Add stairwell attractor points in Rhino or Revit to control which facade the stairwells will generate on when using Generate Floor Plate. Find more information here (Revit) or here (Rhino).
Customize your doors with multiple styles and parametric sizing.
Precision and control at your fingertips! Divide up the building and feed it to the algorithm in parts, allowing you to fine-tune each section to meet specific design criteria and preferences.
Seamlessly integrate the "Generate Floor Plate" algorithm with a predefined core, enabling you to start from existing structures or specify core placement requirements.
Stay on track with custom unit mix targets, monitoring your progress seamlessly throughout your design process. If requirements change, easily spot non-compliant units highlighted in grey for quick adjustments.
Managing identical units has never been easier- with the ability to paste plans into multiple units at once, with the proper orientation automatically detected.
Our latest history feature allows you to revert to earlier versions of your work within seconds, ensuring seamless exploration and retrieval of past iterations.

Quickly mirror objects to cut your editing time in half.
Toggle dimensions on and off using shorcut "d".
