Yes, effectively. The nuance being currently this graph and set of nodes isn't exposed to the user. It's "manual" inputs i.e drawing walls, placing windows etc. But this makes creating VPL on top simple.

Cool. What’s the market like for a new BIM system? With almost zero knowledge it seems like something that would be hard to get the first few sales for, against the incumbents.

Our team is a mix of industry insiders and outsiders. But people are crying for it, AEC needs a modern day BIM design tool.

Just look at the TWO open letters written about Revit to ADSK CEO. Or our waitlist of over 15,000 people.

That’s great to hear! Hope you knock it out of the park.

Agreed, the "Figma for BIM" space is exciting. We're lucky to be backed by Dylan and some awesome AEC folks as we at Arcol try to re-think building design.

Yes, there's definitely a lot to be said for open source software, we're big supporters of it at Arcol and hope we're able to contribute to some of those projects in a meaningful way over the next few years.
