I recently hosted a live webinar with Britton Langdon, Chief Strategy Officer at Snaptrude, and Clifton Harness, CEO of TestFit. The discussion covers recent advancements in—and possibly the re-emergence of—*useful* generative design tools, focusing on early-stage concept design, land use, feasibility, and evolving digital workflows in architectural practice. 

In this replay you will learn about how Snaptrude's cloud-based collaborative design software and TestFit's feasibility software for commodity buildings are bringing useful generative design tools to the market. Discover how these tools integrate with industry standard platforms like Revit and how they are focused on improving and simplifying architectural workflows to save users a lot of time in the design process. And don't miss the Q&A portion where many great questions were asked by the audience.
