## What can he do?

Ask Archie what he can do and he will answer:

**Analyze & Query Design Data**

* **Retrieve building statistics:** Get gross floor area (GFA), net internal area (NIA), unit/story counts, and area breakdowns.
* **Find and count elements:** Search for units, spaces (rooms), doors, or walls matching specific criteria (e.g., area, room types, adjacency, or door styles) using the project resource graph.
* **Inspect layouts:** Get details about spaces, adjacent rooms, doors, windows, and wall segments within any unit.
* **Export data:** Generate and export structured tables (like door schedules or unit mixes) as downloadable CSV or Excel (XLSX) files.

**Modify Floor Plans & Layouts**

* **Manage space types & programs:** Create, update, or reassign room types (e.g., bedrooms, bathrooms) and unit programs across the project.
* **Copy and paste layouts:** Copy entire unit plan templates or story templates and apply them to other target units or stories.

**Edit Doors**

* **Edit doors in the current unit:** Resize, reposition, flip hinge sides, reverse swing directions, center, or remove existing doors directly.
* **Standardize doors in bulk:** Delegate large-scale door editing tasks (like standardizing widths or clearances across multiple floor plans) to a specialized door-editing sub-agent.
* **Add new doors:** Delegate the placement of new doors in any unit plan.

**Edit Windows & Facades**

* **Edit story-level windows:** Delegate edits for facade/story-level windows (resizing, repositioning, or retyping windows across one or more floors) to a specialized window-editing sub-agent.

**Modify Walls**

* **Clean up geometry:** Automatically snap wall vertices to a clean grid, align slightly off-angle walls to be perfectly perpendicular to bounds, or extend walls to cleanly meet unit boundaries.
* **Adjust wall properties:** Update wall thicknesses, change wall light admittance, or change wall widths while automatically preserving adjacent room areas.

**Navigation**

* **Switch views:** Move your viewport between the overall variant (site/massing), specific stories, or individual unit floor plans.
