• Abstract: This paper introduces CADgpt, an innovative plugin integrating Natural Language Processing (NLP) with Rhino3D for enhancing 3D modelling in computer-aided design (CAD) environments. Leveraging OpenAI's GPT-4, CADgpt simplifies the CAD interface, enabling users, particularly beginners, to perform complex 3D modelling tasks through intuitive natural language commands. This approach significantly reduces the learning curve associated with traditional CAD software, fostering a more inclusive and engaging educational environment. The paper discusses CADgpt's technical architecture, including its integration within Rhino3D and the adaptation of GPT-4 capabilities for CAD tasks. It presents case studies demonstrating CADgpt's efficacy in various design scenarios, highlighting its potential to democratise design education by making sophisticated design tools accessible to a broader range of students. The discussion further explores CADgpt's implications for pedagogy and curriculum development, emphasising its role in enhancing creative exploration and conceptual thinking in design education. Keywords: Natural Language Processing, Computer-Aided Design, 3D Modelling, Design Automation, Design Education, Architectural Education

  We propose an end-to-end trainable and auto-regressive architecture to recover the design history of a CAD model. Our model learns visual-language representations by layer-wise cross-attention between point cloud and CAD language embedding. Thanks to its auto-regressive nature, CAD-SIGNet not only reconstructs a unique full design history of the corresponding CAD model given an input point cloud but also provides multiple plausible design choices.

  We show how data combined with machine learning techniques can predict how well a particular student will perform in a design task. We found that our models using early design sequence actions are particularly valuable for prediction. Further improvements to these models could lead to earlier predictions and thus provide students feedback sooner to enhance their learning.
