Generative design explores alternatives using goals, constraints, and variable inputs. Autodesk's Revit documentation describes that process for design studies. The central skill is specifying a problem whose candidates can be evaluated meaningfully, whether the generator uses rules, search, or learned models.
For a proposed room-layout study, define measurable objectives and retain the assumptions used to score each option. Inspect trade-offs rather than presenting one score as a universal best design. Feasibility, accessibility, structural requirements, and applicable rules need the relevant professional review.
No. A design study evaluates alternatives against explicit goals and constraints. An image may illustrate a concept without encoding those requirements.
